<div>Hei,<br />
<br />
sorry, my mistake with the fglrx drivers. Didn't think of that there's a source kernel module part., but of course you're right.<br />
<br />

Thanks :-). There's one more thing that bothers me, but I'm not quite certain about this, so I didn't add it straight away. <br />
I did fglrx installs by running ati-installer. The X11 version doesn't however report any errors most of the time, also when there are. <br />
Also. When it fnishes successfully, it leaves the *.ko files in /lib/modules/fglrx, and doesn't copy them to /lib/modules/linux-whatever/fglrx. <br />
At least very often. I'm using a official kernel, not a debian one. Perhaps this causes some of the confusion about fglrx? Also- it can be, that <br />
you install a new version and the old modules are still being loaded, and therefore accel works and you don't notice anything?<br />

== ateros Free software drivers ==<br />
<br />
hello you seems to want a free software driver for yout atheros card<br />
the ath-driver isn't the only free software driver you also have someone that has ported the openHal driver to linux<br />
so you have:<br />
*Open BSD that have a 100% free software driver that work(i haven't tested it) (the atheros card doesn't have a firmware so it's 200% free software)<br />
*a linux port of this OpenHAL http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~jbicket/openhal/<br />
<br />
i have tested the OpenHAL port to linux but it gives me an error while compiling with the r1443 version<br />
# make<br />
Makefile.inc:215: *** TARGET i386-elf is invalid, valid targets are: . Stop.<br />
<br />
mabe you'll have more chance and so you could tell what are the software requirements<br />
by the way uudecode(that is needed) is in the app-arch/sharutils package under gentoo(so you will be able to find it with the name) <br />
<br />
please respond here because i watch this page(i do not have any ibm laptop but google sent me there while searching for some information on the gcc suport of the pentium M(it difers a lot from a P6 core))</div>Donothinkhttps://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Rasto&diff=22555User talk:Rasto2006-05-31T01:38:51Z<p>Donothink: /* ateros Free software drivers */</p>
