    Installing the ATI proprietary drivers

    I have an ATI AIW X800XT and i am trying to install the newest proprietary drivers using this guide but i get this error

    Code:
    desktop:/home/robert# modprobe -v fglrx
    insmod /lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/misc/fglrx.ko
    FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.18-6-686/misc/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted

    Have you gained root privileges by executing su - command?

    Code:
    su -
     modprobe -v fglrx
