| − | shows the packages it can build.
| + | |
| − | There is no RHEL 5 option yet, but I've read somewhere that RHEL5 is based on FC6.

| − | Given that I tried to build

| − | | + | |
| − | ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | and it generated the following RPMs:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ATI-fglrx-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
| + | |
| − | ATI-fglrx-control-center-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm

| − | To install these RPMs run
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | rpm -Uvh ATI-fglrx* kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.18-8.1.3.el5-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm

| − | | + | |
| − | Run
| + | |
| − | | + | |

| − | | + | |
| − | telinit 5

| − | | + | |
| − | id:5:initdefault:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | in your /etc/inittab and reboot the box.
| + | |
| − | Please note, that SL5.0 installation did not recognise my card: ATI X1600 [Asus A6000KT laptop] so I had no X running and the default init mode was '''3''' [not '''5''']. YMMV.

| − | I still do not know how to rebuild the kernel module for the different kernels.
| + | |
| − | By default the kernel module is being build for the current kernel [uname -r]
| + | |
| − | Today was the first security kernel upgrade revision 2.6.18-8.1.4.el5.
| + | |
| − | So after new kernel installation I repeated the same procedure and installed new kernel module with
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | rpm -ivh kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.18-8.1.4.el5-8.36.5-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm
