Description Aristide Aragon 2005-09-21 21:37:59 UTC 
I'm using SuSE 10 on an HP laptop series zv6000

I tried to install the ATi driver using the ATi installer (as suggested here
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/ATI/ati-installer-HOWTO.html).
I created the RPM wit no probles, but when I try to install it it says it can
not create the kenrel module.
I attach the stdout and stderr of the rpm command
I used:
rpm -Uhv fglrx64_6_8_0_SUSE100-8.16.20-1.x86_64.rpm

Comment 3 Aristide Aragon 2005-09-21 21:59:07 UTC 
I do have the kernel sources installed. I have
kerne-default, -docs, -source, -update-tool
Comment 4 Hubert Mantel 2005-09-22 14:56:17 UTC 
The reason of the failure is printed in the very first line of stderr:
asm/ioctl32.h cannot be found. Your kernel sources are not correctly configured.
Make sure the link from include/asm to include/asm-x86_64 is there and it should
work. Btw, it's not a bug in our kernel if some third party software cannot be
compiled. Nevertheless it would be cool if we could create the matching link by
 default. Andreas, do you think this is possible?
Comment 5 Aristide Aragon 2005-09-22 19:28:48 UTC 
The file is not there either, there's an ioctl32.h in
/usr/include/linux/ioctl32.h and one in 
/usr/src/linux-2.6.13-8/include/linux/ioctl32.h ; but that's it, a symlink
/usr/include/linux/asm/ioctl didnt solve it

I knot it's technically not a big, but if the module builds elsewhere and not in
SuSE then it's still an error.

I read the driver was going to be offered through YOU, what happened to that idea?

For now apply the following patch:

This will be fixed for next ATI driver release.

We're still working on this. :-)
