Bug Description

I installed the xorg-driver-fglrx package to try and get my radeon 9800 pro
working properly. The package appears to be missing the actual kernel module.
It installs the xorg module and some libraries and the xorg.conf, but the kernel
fglrx.ko is missing.

The module is provided by linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r), not
xorg-driver-fglrx.

That module also is missing the driver. It appears to contain several .o files
but no fglrx.ko.

Also the description for the xorg-driver-fglrx package says that it contains the
drivers for this card. At the least, that is misleading. If xorg-driver-fglrx
does not contain the driver, then it should depend on the package that does, or
at least the description should state that the other package should also be
installed.

Nevermind. I had forgotten to run lilo again so I was still running 2.6.13.
