compiling ATI driver

[Scott Alan Burch]

I got YDL 2.3 installed over the weekend on a 9600 with a Powerlogix ZIF/G3 
500 chip, which I believe is really running at 333mhz or so ...

I could only get the X configuration to see "fbdev" as a driver for my ATI 
card. Consequently, I am running KDE at 1024x768 @ 8bits. I tried to use 
the other ATI driver choices, but they did not work. In looking around the 
directories, I did find what I am guessing is an uncompiled driver for the 
ATI Mach64 GX card I have; it has a .c extension.

I opened it in pico and found the libraries it requires, and tried to 
compile it after reading the man gcc pages. I got an error message that it 
could not find one of the files it requires, video/fbcon.h. I could locate 
it, and I opened it in pico, so I know it's real.

So I guess I have two questions:
Do I have to compile this code to make the driver for my card?
What can I do to make gcc see this file?
