Installing fglrx on an Arch system running kernel 2.6.11.1-ARCH (from testing) fails at make_install.sh.

I downloaded the latest ATI drivers and patched the agpgart_be/firegl files to build the fglrx.ko module. However, a modprobe of fglrx fails with:

Operation not permitted: Unable to open another DRM module already in kernel.

radeon.ko was not loaded when this happened. So, I checked the kernel config and discovered that CONFIG_DRM was set to Y. Changed it to M, recompiled and loaded this kernel. fglrx now loads correcly.

I think the Y setting is wrong. Is this a problem with just 2.6.11.1 or with all ARCH kernels?

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  CONFIG_DRM will be a module in our 2.6.12 package.
