jo už sem takovou radu dostal i v blfs fóru. to mě nenapadlo, stačí když někdo za mě vykuchá to rpm) Následný postup je asi takovýto (díky patří Vlastimilu Krejčířovi):

Second step -- you need to install binaries to appropriate place. It means you have to copy all binaries, header files etc. to right places. Simply you can copy the directory $ATI_DIR/usr to /usr (you must have the X at right place, e.g. /usr/X11R6/, try to explore the content of $ATI_DIR/usr and compare it with your /usr directory).

Third step -- copy $ATI_DIR/lib to /lib, then compile and install the kernel module:

# cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod # sh make.sh # cd .. # sh make_install.sh

Try to run depmod -a, modprobe fglrx, lsmod etc. to see the module is correctly compiled and loaded. It should be loaded automatically when you start X.

Forth step -- it is recommended to run fglrxconfig to generate xorg.conf (or Xfree86.conf). But I have experience the generated configuration file is not working well. The problem is in loading modules -- so if you have problem with it (the driver doesn't work), try to use load modules exactly in this order:

Section "Module" Load "GLcore" Load "dbe" Load "dri" # xtrap have to be disabled !!! # Load "xtrap" Load "extmod" SubSection "extmod" Option "omit xfree86-dga" EndSubSection Load "freetype" Load "glx" Load "record" Load "type1"

This order works for me. And it is good idea to have own xorg.conf and cut&paste appropriate parts from the generated one. But it is up to you.

Now, start X and try fglrx_gears. I should works.

This how-to is little bit ugly -- I have been installing ATI drivers two months ago and I am not sure about all steps (I don't rememeber them). If anything goes wrong, try to consult $ATI_DRV/INFO/SCRIPTS/ALL file (there is ugly but complete installation directions). If it doesn't help you can try to send me an email.

So the major hints are described above. I think it is easy if you are little bit experienced with Linux (I hope you are, because you are using LFS ).

And one note at the end: the drivers don't work with the newest kernels. I have installed it at 2.6.7, 2.6.8.1 and 2.6.9 kernels. Everything depends on fglrx version.
