ug, so no F8 support than. (assuming it doesn't support i686 2.6.23)

Got it Working
I have the ATI 8.41.7 driver running with the 2.6.23 kernel.
I used the folowing patches:

I hope this helps..

I guess 8.40.1 does not work. I can't use 8.41.7.Comment
-
The patch failed at some chunks btw. i just ignored that.. I wil compile, i am currently using it.
Regards, NederWietComment

The problem is not compiling, it does not run direct render, not on this hardware.Comment

Cool, let me confirm my order for a new graphics card in the meantime that actually has a driver released when its needed (nvidia).Actually I just found out that they may be rethinking their decision to support 2.6.23 with 8.43 due to 64-bit issues...Comment

This patches worked for me (Ubuntu Fesity with kernel 2.6.23)
I did this:
$ chmod +x ati-driver-installer-8.41.7-x86.run
with root:
# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.41.7.x86.run
(choose install and NOT build packages)
cd /lib/module/fglrx/build_mod
applied the two pathces mentioned above with:
patch -i "patch_file"
then
./make.sh
cd ..
./make_install.sh
and the module was ready...
modprobe fglrx
done.
I had several problems due to the presence of "direct rendering" in my kernel, i recompiled it as a module and unloaded it: all worked. Same for the radeon support in the kernel.
I hope this wuold be useful for someone.
Thanks to NederWiet for the patches.Comment

ATI drives Compaq 6920p
I am cross posting this from another thread. For documentation purpose for my laptop. Anyway I was able to get mine running by only applying one of the patches, As I document below.
I am running OpenSuse 10.2 on a Compaq 6910p. I had to install the 2.6.23.1 kernel in order to get my wireless adapter working.
I was able to get the ATI fglx 8.40.4 latest drivers working. I initially did install both patches that you have listed here or on the link you showed. Which gave me the same results as you.
What I did was only install the "ati-drivers-8.40.4-warnings.patch"
And performed the custom build of the drive from the /lbi/modules/fglrx dir. It did give some warnings but everything worked fine. My fglrxinfo command prints the following now:
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon X2300
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4)
I did try the other patch ati-drivers-2.6.23.patch but it did not resolve anything. And combining both the patches was fruitless, as I stated above.Comment

I just verified that 2.6.23 i686 works with both patches applied. Just don't use copy/paste, download em directly.
They apply correctly with 8.40.4 and newer. That means you can use 8.41.7 too. Also updated my script to include both of em.Comment
