fglrx 8.632 does not compile by dkms on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31 for amd64

I have same issue. On both 2.6.30.and 2.6.31 kernels dkms build fails. Seems that someone forgot to port compatibility patches from 8.620.

Same problem here...

Same here with linux image 2.6.31-7-generic on x86_64 and fglrx 8.632

Sorry I have linux image 2.6.31-8-generic i686 and fglrx 8.632

The 9.8 version installs for me after tweaking dkms:

* Fglrx wants to run as root (needed to edit /usr/bin/dkms to stop it from doing this;-)
* the installed dkms.conf file runs with bash only, so I had to edit the make command used there
   * Removed pushd and popd which seem redundant anyway.
   * call ./make.sh without forcing the shell to sh.

The package was available here:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run

I used --buildpkg Ubuntu/karmic to create debs, installed them and then tweaked dkms as described above.
I further had to blacklist the radeon and radeonhd modules.

... OK, fglrx does build for me now (see comment above), but the resulting module fails to load:-)

i have a version that build/installs, whether it works or not is a binary thing :)
i'll upload it in the ppa below as fglrx-installer_8.632-0ubuntu2~dinxter3
https://launchpad.net/~dinxter/+archive/ppa

essentially it just does as hunger mentioned above, removes popd and pushd, and alters make.sh to allow user 'nobody' to run, which is dkms. no guerantees but works here. debdiff attached

I've seen this bug as well, and have verified that the 8.66 driver solves it.

This bug was fixed in the package fglrx-installer - 2:8.660-0ubuntu1
