Oh Man thanks for the rapid response!

it worked as you knew it would. In fact I got so close and then it ran
into trouble with an unknow symbol in module:

[root@localhost build_mod]# ./make.sh

You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.

Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
failed.

Is it just that it does not like the kernel?
