ATI tries to push driver support to the laptop makers (which has _some_ justification since ATI has no control over how its chip is being integrated, and laptop makers are known to do really weird things sometimes). Unfortunately laptop makers do not want to publish Linux drivers themselves. You can say the situation is improving since some years ago the ATI driver supported only the original "Built by ATI" cards and not the 3rd-party "Powered by ATI" ones (you had to hack the driver to make it work with a 3rd-party card).

Of course the > actual code may be worse. The nvidia driver is WAY too big. :) My experience over the years with ATI is that I love the hardware in general, and I hate their driver bugs. Maybe some day I can have a bug free ATI driver, but it's not looking too promising. One without any major bugs would be nice as a start, but I am not holding my breath. Only major bug I have seen/heard of so far with nvidia had to do with xvideo on multihead setups, and well I don't have a multihead setup.

It works for me using Flavio Stanchina's packaging. For 2.6.12 you have to edit the kernel module source and replace the dev->slot_name references with pci_name(dev) and you also have to fix the inter_module_get() thing (I just commented it out as it is not needed on my setup). > Of course since you already have the ATI its too late to recomend > staying away from ati and their lousy drivers in general. NVidia and Vmware also have regular problems with new kernels when the internal interfaces change. Actually I heard that the _design_ of the ATI driver is much better than NVidia because they try to use some of the existing kernel infrastructure instead of reinventing it completely. Of course the actual code may be worse.

I download the driver on ati official website : > fglrx64_4_3_0-8.14.13-1.x86_64.rpm Yes, I have. I installed Flavio Stanchina's Debian package from source (http://xoomer.virgilio.it/flavio.stanchina/debian/fglrx-installer.html), followed all the instructions until the point where you build the module, then ran "m-a autoinstall fglrx" and stopped it (Ctrl-S) right after it finished uncompressing the archive. While this process was on hold I applied some of the patches from this thread (1) (http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=136, which seems to be down momentarily), then resumed the m-a process. The resulting module works with the kernel's AGPGART using the same setup that I had for kernel 2.6.11. 1) Look at one of my last comments in the ATI thread for a list of what patches to apply. Don't apply the "integrated" patch, as it's missing the important part that makes it work with the kernel's AGPGART. Maybe somebody can recommend a better way to handle the stopping/resuming of module-assistant. I couldn't find an option to stop it from unpacking the sources every time and I was too lazy to patch the tarball directly. > I read that the problem may be due to gcc, actually i use gcc-4.0, and i > compile a kernel with this version of gcc, So i think i have to keep > this version. Try gcc-4.0 with the previous patches, but if it doesn't work then you might have to switch back to 3.4 or 3.3. I'm using 3.3 personally because I was lazy to have make-kpkg use gcc-3.4.

First of all I would recomend looking through the archive or searching google and finding where someone made debian packages for building the ati driver instead. Trying to work with the rpm is nuts. Also the last I read a about a week or two ago was that the ati driver does not work with 2.6.12 at this time, so unless you have some other patches to apply you aren't likely to get it to work. Of course since you already have the ATI its too late to recomend staying away from ati and their lousy drivers in general.
