ATI driver - can't find kernel module

I downloaded catalyst and catalyst-utils like the wiki said, and then I went.

[lewis@1711 lib]$ modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Module fglrx not found.

Which begs the question...lolwut? The whole purpose of the catalyst package was to install the module.

Re: ATI driver - can't find kernel module

If you are running the 2.6.31 kernel you will have to uncomment the following line in the pkgbuild

# Uncomment the following line if you are using kernel 2.6.31
# patch -p0 < 2.6.31.patch

you will also probably have to blacklist !radeon in your daemons array

Re: ATI driver - can't find kernel module

After you did a "pacman -U", for a 2.6.30 kernel the module should be /lib/modules/2.6.30-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko so as "root":
Try modinfo fglrx
Try depmod -a|grep fglrx
and see what clues that gives.

For some reason, reinstalling it for the umpteenth time seem to work. I am going to put it down to magic. Mark as solved.:)
