I managed to get the kernel module installed after removing everything and then apt-get install the kernel module which found and downloaded the files with the right dependencies. Unfortunately this didn't lead to anything interesting and my XFREE86.log still says: drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (No such device) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx" (II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!

I'm attaching my entire XFree86.log. Please bare with me, I AM trying and getting this far is a big step for me. Thanks On 7/13/05, Flavio Stanchina <flavio at stanchina dot net> wrote:

However I've tried installing the drivers both via apt-get and the one I got via fglrx-installer_8.14.13-2.dsc.The changes in 8.14.13-2 only affect AMD64 packages, so I didn't update i386 packages: they are still version 8.14.13-1. If you use the prebuilt binary packages for the driver *and* the kernel module, you should be OK. If you prefer to build your own packages from source and you are using 8.14.13-2, you'll need to rebuild both the driver and the kernel module. -- Ciao, Flavio
