Failed to install fglrx

[maspai]

Hi all

I just installed Salix Xfce 14.1. But failed to install fglrx propietary driver following http://docs.salixos.org/wiki/How_to_Install_ATI_Driver.
Content of fglrx-install.log is:

I also tried to install dkms first then repeat the installation, but same failure.

Thanks for solution.

Did you install the kernel source package?

Did you install the kernel source package?

Yes. I followed steps on the page. I installed VirtualBox with the same way successfully after having kernel-source installed.

I got into this error, too. I read there is a patch needed but I have not tried it yet:

Since I'm not familiar with kernel patch, I think I'll stick with built-in radeon driver until I have easier solution or (hopefully) ready-to-install fglrx package from Salix. Thanks.
