Yes, I see your problem. I've had a little experience with this. In Red Hat 8.0, you must have the Kernel Development part of the Development section of the package manager installed. To compile software to run on Linux, you usually just run those make scripts. But also, you have to set up your system to use the modules once they are compiled. The scripts should do that and maybe they have. I am going to investigate further and I'll post what I find. If you just want to do the compile, all you have to do is run the make.sh script in the build_module directory and then run the make_install.sh script in the next directory up as I explained below. Look at www.tldp.org for some HOWTOs on how to install the modules once they are compiled. There is probably some things on compiling for the kernel there too.
I am a little irritated about the whole situation. The only reason I purchased this card is because I found drivers in an rpm package at the ATI site. It was a mistake I will not make again.
