Run the following (you'll have to get the rpm2cpio script and install cpio) to extract the files from the RPM and set them up in a directory structure: rpm2cpio fglrx.rpm | cpio -id Now enter ./fglrx/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x and run make. (Assuming you're using a 2.6 kernel, just the build_mod directory otherwise I imagine). Copy the resulting fglrx.ko to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm. Run depmod -a. Now, everything in the ./fglrx/usr directory should be copied to the same places in your /usr directory. (you can skip the share/src directories) Run the fglrxconfig program to get the appropriate video driver setup in a config file (back up your original),edit the file to suit and put it in the right place, then boot into X.
