can't modprobe fglrx (proprierary ATI driver)

I have ATI Radeon Mobility M6 LY and
Linux hal2009 2.6.26-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Aug 10 12:29:20 UTC 2008 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I tried to follow the http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … ary_driver

So I installed "catalyst", added fglrx to MODULES list in /etc/rc.conf, and also rebooted, but I can't modprobe fglrx - I get the following error:

FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.26-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): Cannot allocate memory

Any ideas? Google doesn't seem to be helpful: I haven't found anything useful about this particular error with fglrx.

Hohoho

Re: can't modprobe fglrx (proprierary ATI driver)

Unfortunately you're card isn't supported by Catalyst anymore, you should get almost flawless results with the OSS drivers.
M6 uses the RV100 core, it's been documented long ago and the drivers are really mature AFAIK.
