I just tried the 2.6.31-8.10 rt kernel with fglrx and the kernel module build fails. This is from the terminal when installing the kernel headers. This is a clean stock karmic beta install fully updated to today with fglrx already installed on the generic kernel. The rt kernel gave me a short "unable to install module" message when it was installing. When I installed the kernel headers a little while later I got this

I also tried building from /usr/src/fglrx-8.660 and have attached the make.sh.log
I can also give you excepts from the Xorg.0.log which has a few interesting messages besides the usual no DKMS messages
