[solved] fglrx with custom kernel

I installed a custom kernel without ABS.

The soucres are in /usr/src/liunx-<kernelversion> and /usr/src/linux is a link to it.

the ati-fglrx PKGBUILD from abs compiles against the kernel26 sources, and I can't modprobe the fglrx modul

FATAL: Error inserting fglrx/lib/modules/2.6.18.5-RADEONFB/video/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format

Which changes are needed to make the PKGBUILD compile against the sources under the /usr/src/linux link?

this is the ati-fglrx PKGBUILD from ABS

    # Install the kernel module
    install -m 644 -D $startdir/src/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/fglrx.ko 
        $startdir/pkg/lib/modules/${_kernver}/video/fglrx.ko

    sed -i -e "s/KERNEL_VERSION=.*/KERNEL_VERSION=${_kernver}/g" $startdir/ati-fglrx.install

}

edit:
hmm, so simple :oops:

changed  _kernver variable to

_kernver=$(uname -r)

now it compiles against the current running kernel.
