Description Anant Narayanan (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-20 20:46:50 UTC 
The proprietary ati-drivers 8.28.8 don't compile with the 2.6.18 kernel (which is now stable :)). The problem is that UTS_RELEASE has moved from version.h to utsrelease.h in 2.6.18, and ati-drivers doesn't know that.

Here's the fix: Add the following lines to common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c:

#ifndef UTS_RELEASE
#include <linux/utsrelease.h>
#endif

#ifndef VM_SHM
#define VM_SHM 	0x00000000
#endif

And change this line in common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh:

kernel_release=`cat $linuxincludes/linux/version-*.h | grep UTS_RELEASE | grep \"$OsRelease\" | cut -d'"' -f2`

to:

kernel_release=`cat $linuxincludes/linux/utsrelease.h | grep UTS_RELEASE | grep \"$OsRelease\" | cut -d'"' -f2`
