    HI all. Having fits dealing with those wonderful ATI drivers. I had
    installed 2.6 kernels and then later uninstalled and reinstalled the SuSE
    kernel with updates to 2.4.21-166-athlon version. I have run make
    cloneconfig, make dep, and complete and successful recompiles, yadda yadda...

    Everytime now, when I try to install the fglrx V-3.7.0, following the
    instructions (actually couple of variations - but still essentially the same)
    it get the following message from "modprove -vv fglrx":

    /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-166-athlon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o
    Using /lib/modules/2.4.21-166-athlon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o
    Symbol version prefix ''
    /lib/modules/2.4.21-166-athlon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o: couldn't find
    the kernel version the module was compiled for
    /lib/modules/2.4.21-166-athlon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o:
    insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-166-athlon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o failed
    /lib/modules/2.4.21-166-athlon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o: insmod fglrx
    failed

    Anyone experience anything similar? I would be very greatful for any tips or
    insights.

    TIA

    Curtis.
