So I'm having problems getting the fglrx kernel module to load

rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-firmware-20110904-1-mdv2012.0.noarch
kernel-firmware-extra-20110817-1-mdv2012.0.noarch
kernel-headers-3.1.5-1.1-mdv2012.0.x86_64
kernel-desktop-devel-3.1.6-1.2-mdv2012.0.x86_64
kernel-desktop-3.1.6-1.2-mdv2012.0.x86_64
fglrx-kernel-3.1.6-1.2-desktop-8.920-2-unity2012.0.x86_64 < I created this
manually

dkms status
fglrx, 8.920-2, 3.1.6-1.2-desktop, x86_64: installed-binary from
3.1.6-1.2-desktop

modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx
(/lib/modules/3.1.6-1.2-desktop/dkms/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): Invalid
module format

dmesg:
[101330.164262] fglrx: no symbol version for module_layout

Afaik this is a miss match of the installed kernel and the kernel
sources/devel.
