can't modprobe fglrx (for ATI Radeon Mobility)

(posted this to kernel board - no answers)

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.

I don't think that chipset is still supported in the Catalyst driver. Use xf86-video-ati instead.

Please don't cross-post. Thread closed, identical reply in the other one.
