−	~~Deep thinking~~ - ~~adds~~ a ~~new dmeiniosn~~ to it all.	+	For all of you that like to do things the hard way:
		+	== Getting 3D for your ATI Radeon card in LFS [http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/] ==
		+
		+	Used here
		+	* Kernel 2.6.15 (with agp and DRM configured)
		+	* Fresh LFS install
		+	* Xorg 6.8.2 (By BLFS)
		+	* Driver (proprietary fglrx 8.20.8)
		+
		+	Probably not needed (and might even interfere!) Please verify and edit if possible.
		+	* Mesa-6.4.1 (leftovers after failed attempt at installing r300_dri)
		+
		+	----
		+
		+	After browsing ATI's homepage for drivers I decided to use the installer-package, as I didn't have any easy way to convert rpms into tarballs.
		+
		+	If you decide to use the installer provided by ATI, make sure you don't have any libGL.so.* lying around in /usr/X11R6/lib before running the installer binary. It appears to rename installed files rather than overwriting old. Move any existing just to be safe:
		+
		+	<code>
		+	mkdir /root/old_libGL <br>
		+	mv /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so* /root/old_libGL
		+	</code>
		+
		+	Run the installer, it does some checks and then opens a graphical point-and-clickety install window. Follow instructions and install the correct driver. Maybe it works now already? Never has for me, so I'll continue..
		+
		+	After the installer exits you should have a directory /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
		+	with a script "make.sh" to re-build the fglrx driver. Now for kernel 2.6.15 with fglrx 8.20.8 you'll need to apply a patch for avoiding errors of:
		+
		+	Bad page state at free_hot_cold_page
		+	I pathched manually, since all you need to do is change line 2624 in firegl_public.c to
		+	#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE >= 0x02060f
		+
		+	If the script complains about not being run from a real console, you could try to hack it a bit to go on anyway.
		+
		+	<code>
		+	cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod <br>
		+	vi make.sh
		+	</code>
		+
		+	search for:
		+
		+	if [ $? -ne 0 ];
		+	then
		+	echo "You arent running in a 'login shell'."
		+	echo "Please login directly from a console"
		+	echo "or use 'su -l' to get the same result."
		+	exit 1
		+	fi
		+
		+	and delete the line with 'exit 1' to get past that annoyance. Run it to build the modules. Then change to the parent directory and run "make_install.sh", hack as needed. This installs the kernel module and it's conterpart in /lib/X11R6/modules/
		+
		+
		+	Finally, when all of this is done, you might need an old version of libstdc++
		+	check it by typing:
		+
		+	[shell]$ ldd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so
		+	libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x408a5000)
		+	libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.5 (0x408c7000)
		+
		+	Since I had only version 6 on my system I also installed version 5 to make fglrx happy.
		+
		+	Alternatively, setting LIBGL_DEBUG might also reveal old libstdc++ dependencies.
		+
		+	run fglrxconfig, answer a lot of questions, start X and pray.
		+
		+	Good luck!
