Subject: [XFree86] ATI Driver problems -- Warning: loading ... fglrx.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license ...
Date: 01 Apr 2003 22:42:52 -0800
I am still trying to get my Radeon 9000 Pro installed. I am noticing a few more things. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling my rpm package. The first thing I notice is that even though the installation tells you that the module is loaded, /sbin/lsmod shows you that it isn't. Also, there is a warning. This is the entire feedback when the installation is run with "rpm -i --force ./fglrx-glc22-4.2.0-2.5.1.i586.rpm":

*** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
- creating symlink

- trying a sample load of the kernel module
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.18-14/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY
See http://www.tux.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about tainted modules
Module fglrx loaded, with warnings
done.
===
ATI display drivers successfully installed
please run 'fglrxconfig' now
===
I run lsmod and do not find a module labeled fglrx.
Is there something in Linux preventing these modules from being loaded?
