I have Kernel 2.4.22 and XFree86 4.3.0 and Glibc 2.3.2 and when I install the drivers meant for XFree86 4.3.0 i get this message. ================================================== ========== [root@cs163104 Downloads]# rpm -i --force fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0.i386.rpm warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root warning: user mtippett does not exist - using root warning: group mtippett does not exist - using root *** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module. *** WARNING *** Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.

Ok, thnx for the advice, I installed the kernel source and this time
when i run the rpm -i --force fgl...rpm(radeon drivers) I get this message. ================================================== ============= Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.

Installed: qt3 (gcc 3.2) based control panel application === ATI display drivers successfully installed please run 'fglrxconfig' now ================================================== To me it seems that the installation program builds a module environment and then installs the drivers. However after I've run fglrxconfig my computer is slower than it was before I installed the drivers. Also when I run glxinfo the the direct rendering is no and also it has the following lines: OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4 Now I'm under the impression that the drivers should install some ati stuff to the OpenGl parts. I'm sorry for being kind of a newbie in linux but I've only had it for less than a week but I would really want these drivers to work. I apreciate all help I can get. Thnx.
