Alex,
   Here is make.log I used the wrong word - interpret- I meant resolve.

strange situation. libraries are binaries and wont get interpreted.

there must be a log-file from the build in the same directory.
some make.log or similiar, cant remember exactly right now.
can you provide this?

Alex,
   I did go to the /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod  and executed make.sh.  I got 
and error that the shell script could not interpret the proper library.  Now 
what?

why so complicated? no RPM on your system?

you can even install it via RPM regardless of your kernel version. 
only to the exsitance of the RPM program is a weak requirement.

debian users probalbly make use of the "alien" tool.

the provided kernel modules are "samples" and ease of use
for folks that use standard installation 
and never do update their Linux kernel.

for anyone else there is the mentioned subdir,
which only builds parts of the fglrx kernel module,
but in no way it builds the whole driver!

i hope you are running now.

I would propose to try to use it then as 8500LE. This should be
possible with configuring it to use the radeon driver. Specify then

  ChipID 0x514c

in Device section of XF86Config. If this works, we can easily add the
Device ID of your Radeon 9100 chip to the radeon driver. Anyway, the
Device ID will be useful for us. "lspci -n" should help here.

Best regards,
Stefan

You could use the ATI drivers under any distribution and any kernel
(2.4). 

use the rpm2targz 
decompress the archive and install it
go into the directory  /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod  
sh make.sh
cd ..
sh make_install.sh

it will compile the drivers for your kernel.
