I'm trying to install the AMD catalyst kernel drivers on my updated Sabayon with kernel 3.7.
It fails with "fglrx installation requires that the system have kernel headers. /lib/modules/3.7.0-sabayon/build/include/linux/version.h cannot be found on this system."
I have the directory and it contains a lot of files, except version.h.

I found that I have /lib/modules/3.6.0-sabayon/build/ (as well as 3.4.0, 3.3.0 ) contains version.h (and only that file in include-directory) and have a different structure than for 3.7.0. I cannot recall that I have done something different when upgrading the kernel (using kernel-switcher).
What do I need to do to have version.h?

I have sabayon-sources installed for 3.7-r3 but not for 3.6, 3.4 or 3.3.

I suggest you file a bug report (click on the link 'Bugs' at the top of this page).

I'm moving this thread to the Hardware shed (forum) as it's more appropriate there.

It seems that the AMD Catalyst 13.1 kernel drivers does not support later kernels (like 3.7).
I found version.h in kernel sources and added a link to it where AMD drivers wanted it, then tried again but it failed on some compiler error due to that the drivers are using some symbols that are removed in 3.7 kernel.

You need to wait for an ebuild. Or apply the additional patches that the ebuild would to your tree.

Manually building stuff is not supported/recommended.

version.h is in a different location in the new kernels.
All you need to do is create a symlink, but not from sources as you did:

Code: Select all: # ln -s /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build/include/linux/version.h

Also, as far as I know, AMD drivers do not install properly on the newer kernels (I'm trying to get 13.1 Legacy for my HD4670). My drivers do not want to cooperate, but I found a patch during my research that may work if you are using normal ones.

Try to install the drivers. After creating the symlink for version.h they should install and give an error message at the end of the installation. Ignore the message.

Copy the fglrx-3.7.patch to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ (I believe you must do it through console with sudo).

Then:

Code: Select all: # cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ # patch -p0 < fglrx-3.7.patch # ./make.sh # cd .. # ./make_install.sh

I didn't test it myself, but it should be working at least on ATI 12.10 drivers, possibly also on the newest release.

Another post for clarity:
I managed to install my drivers just now, unsure if they will work though.

I used these patches, they are somewhat flawed though and you need to manually specify the file to be patched (:

Did not use the patch I gave in the last post.
Also, I believe one of those patches removes the need to create symlink of version.h

I installed Catalyst (had to copy version.h) from AMD website and ran into similar errors upon completion. Catalyst interface will actually open and I can change settings (I can no longer edit graphical settings through Sabayon), but graphics processing has clearly gone from bad to a lot worse. I'm somewhat new to this so I'm wondering, how would I apply those patches? Your first post is pretty straightforward and I can figure that out, but I have no idea what to do with those four chunks of code.

This is my installation log:
