maxt · 08-20-2004, 12:15 PM

when i try the make i get the same erro as the 1 I postet and when i try the make_modules_install i get this

[root@localhost linux]# make module_install
Makefile:395: .config: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `module_install'. Stop.
[root@localhost linux]# make modules_install
Makefile:395: .config: No such file or directory

The present kernel configuration has modules disabled.
Type 'make config' and enable loadable module support.
Then build a kernel with module support enabled.

make: *** [modules_install] Error 1
[root@localhost linux]#

There is no /usr/src/linux directory.

Just install your linux kerenl sources!

In the xconfig, what's the diferecence between * and v? You know, when you select something, there are theses two options. By the way, I did everything you said and didn't work at all. It's happening the same thing that happened before. It is freezing in a dark screen!

when you run through each step in a terminal, pay special attention to the messages it gives it, read everything!!! Because chances are, you have been given some errors but missed them. And take the steps slowly, don't rush them... trust me!

When I execute make xconfig, appear the following warning messages:

make[1]: `scripts/fixdep' is up to date.

What should I do to fix it?

I've solved this and many other ATI driver problems.I sold my Ati radeon and got an nvidia geforce 6800 !!!!Bye bye ati!!

dickohead · 09-12-2004, 09:39 PM

looks like the same problem i had, this is what sausagejohnson told me to do:

Quote:

dickohead, the reason you have the custom part on your kernel is because you should have edited your makefile in /usr/src/linux before doing the compile.

Do a:

vi /usr/src/linux/Makefile

You'll see under EXTRAVERSION, the word "custom". Make the value blank.

A warning though. If you only have one kernel version on your machine, you will be effectively overwriting your current working kernel and modules, so take care compiling the kernel.

Keep the dual boot kernels so thatif you screw up, you can boot into the "custom" kernel and fix it (your dud kernel compile has not been wasted).

And that worked brilliantly for me!

sarmad · 09-13-2004, 12:01 AM

thanks dickohead

now i installed the driver (RPM) without any error and i run the fglrxconfig and reboot the system but i got a black screen !! i logged as a root and startx

i got this

Code:

Using authority file /root/.Xauthority
Writing authority file /root/.Xauthority
Using authority file /root/.Xauthority
Writing autority file /root/.Xauthority

and freezing, i could not do anything else so i wait a little then CTRL ALT DEL

can sombody know what is wrong !!

I got 3d to work with Radeon 9600 Pro

fglrxinfo displays the message

Code:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.11.1)

But in glxgears and fgl_glxgears I get only

~ 85 fps to 90 fps.

What could be the problem here?

Note: In UT2004 and Q3Arena I am able to play fairly comfortably at 800x600 though perceptibly slower than in Windows.

hi, anyone enabled 3d accelleration on fedora core 2? i have to enable it for a ati radeon 9600 pro...tnx...
