Hello guys, I am new on these forums. I came here because I was googling for this and found Michael's blog somewhere.
I have just installed Cedega and it says that I need a graphics driver. Then I realized I had to install these:

qt-devel
kernel-devel
kernel-headers


But when installing the ATI driver like Michael said in his thread (http://www.phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=981), it returns this:
==================================================
ATI Technologies Linux Driver Installer/Packager
==================================================
Generating package: Fedora/F7
Please install an appropriate Linux kernel module build package.
The package(s) you need are likely kernel-devel and/or kernel-headers.
If you've compiled a custom kernel, make sure /usr/src/linux exists
and the source tree matches the currently running kernel.

I tried making a symbolic link:ln -s /usr/src/kernels/2.6* /usr/src/linux

But it still returns the same error.
What could be the problem?

Did you compile the kernel yourself or using a stock RPM kernel?

I did like you.I downloaded the newest linux graphics driver. I followed the guide like a slave. I linked to it above.

EDIT: Oh, now I understand.. No, I just installed the latest FC7 Test 3 CD, then I used yum to download the kernels.

Then you need to do

yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel

I just did that, and it still does returns the same error (written above).
I wrote this: ./ati-installer.sh 8.33.6 --buildpkg Fedora/F7But the driver isn't actually version 8.33.6, can that be the problem?

EDIT: I tried writing in the current version number. Still same error.

Then change 8.33.6 to whatever version you are using

I am using 8.35.5. Still same error.

fglrx_6_8_0-8.35.5-1.i386.rpm

I am thinking about just switching to FC6. This is my only problem though.

So is it still erroring you out on the kernel source? Otherwise it should present you with four RPMs and just not one. Be aware there is a Xorg bug with Rawhide unless you downgrade the Xorg server to F7T2 area.

yes, same error.

I do not wish to work with this. I am installing FC6. It should be my Personal Computer, not for testing :)

Lovely website btw!
