Why not use the packages in the Mandriva repository? It works charm here with DKMS. You can find 8.3 in the Contrib repository
Hello,
When I try to create a rpm package on my Laptop with Mobility Radeon X1400 with Mandriva 2008.0 using the AMD/ATI installer 8.3.
I get no errors but the temporary directory disappears before I can copy the package.
The installation process works fine, however I want to create a rpm package for another laptop that has no kernel sources nor compiler installed .
In my console I got:
[root@PCL-LNX-MS Desktop]#./ati-driver-installer-8-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Mandriva/2008
Created directory fglrx-install.E15616
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

Where should I look after this rpm package after it was successfully created?

Thank you for this useful information. I installed the fglrx X11 video driver 8.471. Didn't knew that an upgrade was available for version 8.40 yet. And indeed it seems to be a good/stable working driver. Ati Catalyst control center is working fine now. My second screen works for the 100%.![]()
