Just installed linux-image-2.6.11-1 and tried to compile the fglrx module.To
compile the fglrx module with kernel 2.6.11, a patch is needed (see
http://www.rage3d.com/board/showpost.php?p=1333473014&postcount=42). I modified
the patch to work with fglrx-kernel-source_8.8.25-0ubuntu5 (see
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=69192&postcount=6) and compiled the
fglrx module successfully. But when loading the module, the same error as with
linux-image-2.6.10-11 and above occurs: "[fglrx:firegl_stub_register] *ERROR*
Unable to the open some already present DRM kernel module!".
The only way to get rid of this error seems to recompile the kernel and compile
DRM as a module (as suggested in
http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=60795&postcount=47). Sorry, but I had
no time to try this out. Perhaps later...
