Right now, I have a xorg.conf file loaded that doesn't have the FGLRX driver configured because the file that does have it encounters an error (keep reading to see exactly what) which causes X to start in 1024x768 @ 60Hz which looks very bad and hurts my eyes. The non-FGLRX xorg.conf file runs in 1600x1200 @ 85Hz.
Now, if I use the FGLRX xorg.conf file, the following happens (according to my Xorg.0.log in /var/log/):
(II) fglrx(0): [drm] DRM interface version 1.0 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] created "fglrx" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xf8c50000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xf8c50000 to 0xb7b16000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xe0000000 (II) fglrx(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (II) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit done (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information: (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx (II) fglrx(0): Version: 8.10.19 (II) fglrx(0): Date: Feb 9 2005 (II) fglrx(0): Desc: ATI FireGL DRM kernel module (WW) fglrx(0): Kernel Module version does *not* match driver.

Note the (EE)... it's saying something about a kernel module and here's where I need the help.
What kernel module is it talking about? And how do I fix it?
Any info/help would be greatly appreciated. if you need more info to diagnose my problem, I'll be happy to help but keep in mind I've only been using Linux for a week hehe.
Thanks
