Hello; I seem to be very confused on how to install fglrx on 2.6.25-*
below is the warnings and errors,

cleaning...
patching 'highmem.h'...
assuming new VMA API since we do have kernel 2.6.x...
def_vma_api_version=-DFGL_LINUX253P1_VMA_API
 Assuming default VMAP API
 Assuming default munmap API

Under firegl_public.c it seems the module is requesting a cap_t  get
and receive an effective vector.
With the new capability.h file, what is the capability that replaces cap_t?
