Bug Description

This may not be the best place to put this but I have adapted patches from Arch (http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29111) and the fglrx dkms.conf to get fglrx to build.

As a workaround it might help someone - I'm aware .34 kernels aren't official packages (yet!).

File locations:
/usr/src/fglrx-8.723.1/dkms.conf
/usr/src/fglrx-8.723.1/patches/fglrx-2.6.33.patch
/usr/src/fglrx-8.723.1/patches/fglrx-2.6.34-rc4.patch

Robert, your package doesn't successfully apply the arch patch (I think it's down to your regexp for PATCH_MATCH; if I can find a way to report a bug on your package I will ;) I'm also pretty sure you need both .33 and .34 patches for a .34 kernel.

I've attached a dkms.conf that will allow the X-Swat fglrx 8.732 to be patched and build correctly.

Essentially one change is needed to one file for >=2.6.34 as Catalyst 10.6 supports 2.6.33. This is accomplished by fglrx-2.6.34-rc4.patch though it may be easier to just change the file (I'm surprised ATi haven't done it themselves):

Edit kcl_wait.c, and below "#include <linux/sched.h>" add the lines:

#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= KERNEL_VERSION(2,6,34)
#include <linux/slab.h>

Sorry, the message was sended before being finish.

I attached the make.log from the /var/lib/dkms/fglrx path.

On my main computer, radeon driver works mainly correctly, so, for the moment I use this, but on my laptop, radeon driver is severely dysfunctional (correct display of the desktop but with a lot of interference or noise, plymouth wasn't displayed at all, instead there's some ugly strange images)

So I try to install Maverick on it, and the radeon driver bug is still present (but it's not the purpose here) but the fglrx build matter is remaining too.
Notice that "additional driver" module doesn't suggest me any driver, so fglrx seems to be blocked ?

I'm not sure to understanding (I'm not an building expert...), but is there a way with the patch uploaded above, to build fglrx ? And how should I proceed ?

Thanks

Nicolas

@Andy, Nicolas: sorry for the inconvenience, it seems that a security update of the kernel caused this problem. This change removed the compat_alloc_user_space function from asm/compat.h (which is what fglrx relies on). The kernel team is working on the issue in Lucid (which also affects Maverick).

The radeonhd driver is Not compatible with 5xxx cards. You have to use the
normal radeon driver from xorg if you want a free driver. The radeondriver
Supports some 3d Features but is really slow, so use fglrx if you can.
