Issues w/ ATI driver-- Any ideas?

[noblestknight]

I'm trying to install the driver so I can get 3d accleration working on my box. I compiled the driver and got to the point where I load the driver and I get this:

debian:/usr/src/modules/fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6# modprobe fglrx
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.28/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o will taint th e kernel: non-GPL license - Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, G ERMANY

      You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg

/lib/modules/2.4.28/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o: insmod fglrx failed
debian:/usr/src/modules/fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6#

I checked dmesg and I don't really know what I'm looking for so it wasn't any help. So, has anyone been through this and have any suggestions?


Thanks in Advance

Haha, perfect. None of the docs I read said that needed to be unloaded from the kernel. Thanks a lot!

Glad it worked!
