linux kernel for 3d acceleration

[mad_alfred]

I always get this message when I try to build the kernel to activate 3d acceleration for my 9800Pro:

You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx

is there a solution.... I really can't understand the hint it gives me...

iirc this is the problem with MDK 9.2. right?
actually what the error message is telling you is that there are a few problems with the modules that has been built and it can not allow you to insert it in the kernel.
i have found two pages while my google search that might help you and save you from compiling your own kernel.

I made it!!!!!

there has been a problem with the kernel since the beginnig..... I installed the "i686" kernel ( 2.4.22 ) from the cd1 of mdk , then I went in root and forced the istallation of the source rpm of my kernel which I downloaded from rpmfind.net. i then went in lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod , run ./make.sh and then installed the new kernel with ./install_make.sh in the previous directory....:D

thanks 4 all the help !!!!

p.s. my prophet 9800 is doing just fine with glxgears I'm getting 4500FPS running it in kde desktop :)

...AND most important... I had to modify the XF86Config-4 so that it could load the "speedo" fonts.... in Section "module" I added also Load "speedo" just next to Load "freetype" and Load "type1"...
