In a vain effort to try anything to get these ATI supplied drivers going
in Red Hat, I have attempted to recompile my kernel as per the
"instructions" at their site. If you wish to try it yourself in Red Hat
8.0, you will have to edit the Makefile so that the line "EXTRAVERSION=
-14custom" is changed to "EXTRAVERSION = -14", else ATI's makefiles will
not work. Also you might want to create and backup a .config file by
running "make oldconfig" and moving the resulting file somewhere else,
or "make distclean" will wipe it out, which is part of its job.
The first make in the fglrx directory seems to go OK. Here is a log
that is generated by it:

It is when I move to the upper directory and run make_install.sh where I
have unresolved symbol errors. Here is the output:
- creating symlink
- recreating module dependency list
- trying a sample load of the kernel module

I even tried to recompile my kernel with the CONFIG_MODVERSIONS set to
"n", but could not complete the modules part of the custom build.
Anybody have any idea how to correct these unresolved symbol errors?
