Need help with ATI's graphics driver installer

OK, so I've managed to compile my kernel update (2.6.16.1 ), but now I'm having trouble installing ATI's graphics driver on my Debian sarge box. I keep getting an error message exactly like what this guy describes. Now I'm not using the same install method as he is, I'm doing this. Not sure what to do at this point; been banging my head against the wall for a few days now, any suggestions? I'd appreciate ANY help I can get
Why in the hell can't ATI just release drivers for Debian anyways? sheesh

 

not sure if i linked this correctly, but I'm trying to output the error message i get from the ati driver installer

 

What's in /etc/apt/sources.list?

Can you post the error directly to this forum instead of attaching a file? Then it's easier for us.

 

Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Ok finally figured out how to post a file using lynx, this
is the error i get using ati's driver installer. I am
running an amd athlon 64 on Debian 3.1 Sarge with kernel
2.6.16.1 I think the problem has to do with this damn
installer supporting only SUSE and redhat, something I
read somewhere about the installer trying to install 32
libraries on my 64 bit OS. Not sure about that really.

 

ok here it is
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main

deb http://mirror.espri.arizona.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ stable main
deb-src http://mirror.espri.arizona.edu/debian-amd64/debian/ stable main

deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main
Looks pretty small to me, not sure what else i should add in here.

 

What's the output of

Code:

which ldd

and

Code:

ls -la /lib/ld-linux.so.2

?

 

Well

Code:

 which ldd 

returns /usr/bin/ldd
and

Code:

 ls -la /lib/ld-linux.so.2 

retruns no such file or directory

 

In my /lib directory, there is an ld-2.3.2.so file and just below it is a link file ld -linux-x86_64.so.2 -> ld-2.3.2.so

 

Please do this:

Code:

apt-get install apt-file
apt-file update
apt-file search ld-linux.so.2

What's the output of the last command?

 

Code:

 apt-get install apt-file 

done, no problems there

Code:

 apt-file update 

returned:
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/apt-file line 311.

and

Code:

returned

ia32-libs: lib/ld-linux.so.2

although ld-linux.so.2 still is not in the /lib directory.
i can't help but wonder if i'd be having this problem if i'd bought an Nvidia video card... :

 

Please install ia32-libs:

Code:

apt-get install ia32-libs

 

ok so installing ia32-libs worked great and i was able to build my debian sarge ati driver packages.
Hit another roadblock when i tried to auto install fglrx with module-assistant:

Not sure what happened here, is this a problem with kernel modules or something?
And also, I was wondering since i have agpgart enabled in my kernel (I checked in the menuconfig and can't seem to be able to remove the module) will this affect my 3d performance at all? According to ATI it's best to remove this in order to use fglrx internal AGP support, but I'm not sure how to do that.

BTW, thanks for volunteering all this time and help, mucho appreciado hombre!

 

Hm, this time the error messages are very cryptic... Have you googled a bit?

 

Heck i got nothing, tried lookin around the web to no avail. Do you think the problem might be that i have a pci-e mobo as opposed to an agp?

 

ok so i recompiled the kernel and removed K8 GART IOMMU support and i was able to mod assist a-i fglrx.
I ran

Code:

 dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86 

and then i rebooted. When i started x, i got this error:

module load failure server load failure
not sure what to do here, am i even using the fglrx driver i just compiled or am i missing a module of some sort?

 

Well believe it or not i got the GUI to work. I edited the /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 file and commented out
Load "int10" in the "Module" section, and when i rebooted it worked!
Bad news is after i run fglrxinfo, it shiws the mesa drivers and not my ATI compiled ones
when i modprobe -v fglrx , i get a bunch of unresolved symbols

 

Can you post the output of

Code:

fglrxinfo

and

Code:

modprobe -v fglrx

?

 

fglrxinfo returns:
[email protected]:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4

modprobe -v fglrx returns:
Hellfury:/home/wraithfire# modprobe -v fglrx
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.16.1/misc/fglrx.ko
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.16.1/misc/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted

now last night i recompiled the kernel with agpgart support and added UseInternalAGPGART yes to XF86Config-4, as suggested by a post somewhere, because originally i was getting a ton of unresolved symbols from modprobe.

 

Can you add fglrx to /etc/modules and reboot? What does

Code:

fglrxinfo

show then?

 

ok done but i get the same thing:
[email protected]:~$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4

Do i need to go bcak and remove agpgart from kernel and XF86Config-4 as well?
just in case it matters here my XF86Config-4 file:
