    Driver: ATI Catalyst 9.2 on Fedora 10

    I'm trying to install the ATI Catalyst 9.2 driver for an ATI Radeon HD4870 graphics card, on Fedora 10.

    I am attempting to follow the directions provided with the driver, but I am running into an error when I attempt to build the driver for Fedora 10. Below are the steps I go through and the output.

    Generating package: Fedora/F10
    mv: cannot stat '/tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.582-1-2955-root/BUILD/ATI-fglrx-8.582/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/*': No such file or directory
    At this point, the install freezes and I have to cancel it with Ctrl-C.
    Out of curiosity, I looked to see if the directory did in fact not exist. It didn't. But there was a similar directory under lib64 instead of lib:

    Code:
    /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.582-1-2955-root/BUILD/ATI-fglrx-8.582/usr/X11R6/lib64/modules/dri/
    At this point, I'm not sure what to do.

    Just to be sure, I attempted a standard install. This results in a black screen though, as the standard install is designed to build for Redhat, where as I am using Fedora 10.

    I am considering using the opensource driver, radeonHD, as an alternative until I get this problem solved.
