whats wrong with this thing .... need more help plz
As noted in the error message please run sh ati-driver-installer-11-4-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg to find out what distro version you can use. Then use that one instead of Slackware/All. Probably Slackware-13.37 or Slackware-13.1 will be ok.

AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
Error:
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.6.37.6/build/include do not match current kernel.
they are versioned as "2.6.37.6-smp"
instead of "2.6.37.6".
you might need to adjust your symlinks:
- /usr/include
- /usr/src/linux

...ok I can see from this post that it looks like you didn't need the very basic help I just tried to give you. In general, when posting with queries like this, it's helpful if you can be as specific as possible about the nature of your problem, what you tried, and what happened. Also, please post to the same thread if the topic is the same.
So here it looks as if you downloaded the package and followed the instructions on the wiki. What options did you choose to select the file you downloaded? I had a fiddle after following that link, and the site just referred me to laptop manufacturers. But maybe with whatever options you selected, it doesn't do that.

Really? I thought it said the opposide of what you posted ... any command to check to be sure ?
