fglrx kernel module compile failed

[deltatux]

Hey guys,

I've been trying to compile the kernel module for my system but it fails with this following message:

/usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c: In function ‘KCL_flush_tlb_onepage’:
/usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/firegl_public.c:2352: error: too many arguments to function ‘on_each_cpu’

This is a vanilla kernel install of Linux 2.6.27.4 kernel (latest version at time of writing).

Use 8-10 driver.

Use 8-10 driver.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply, this is the 8.10 driver compilation. It still fails to compile into the kernel as a module.

You are right, 8-10 needs the same patch as 8-9.

You are right, 8-10 needs the same patch as 8-9.

What patch do you speak of =S? I wasn't aware of any patches.

Funnyly it works in my script If you use Debian or Ubuntu you can use it:

http://kanotix.com/files/install-fglrx-debian.sh

Do NOT try this with xserver 1.5 as the current fglrx driver does not support it. Put the ati installer into /usr/src dir to avoid download.

Maybe the reason why it doesn't work is because the patches are not for my distro? I use OpenSUSE 11.

Would that be why? but I don't see how it correlates if that's the case...
