Re: patch for compile failures!

["Matthew Tippett" <mtippett at ati dot com>]

Try modinfo -p fglrx, it will dump amongst other things the vermagic for your kernel.  If they don't match your running kernel, you will get a load failure.  I think /proc/version and uname -a give you enough to compare against the vermagic.

My money would be on the default compiler being different than the compiler used on the kernel.

Thanks for your patch, now i'm able to compile the debs and also the 
modules. Unfortunately i'm getting this error whenever trying to 
modprobe the created module.

FATAL: Error inserting fglrx 
(/lib/modules/2.6.11.12-050714-vanilla/misc/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format

All the debs are installed and the compile process goes smoothly.
