dlopen will return an error when a symbol cannot be resolved. In this case it is ATIMemoryTypeNames_88800CX. Looking at the relocation section of atimisc_drv.so, we will find this symbol has NOTYPE. Hmmmm, so where could it be??? I have a script that searches object files for symbols. I found this symbol in ati_drv.so. . findsym ATIMemoryTypeNames_88800CX /opt/X/lib/xorg/modules ./drivers/atimisc_drv.so: 00000000 *UND* 00000000 ATIMemoryTypeNames_88800CX ./drivers/ati_drv.so: 0000b820 g O .data 00000020 ATIMemoryTypeNames_88800CX Since all prerequisite shared objects need to be dlopen(ed) before the the target object, we can deduce that atimisc_drv.so is being opened out of order. ati_drv.so just so happens to be the name of the ati driver (i believe). X dlopens the driver you specify in xorg.conf. So like Ken said, he would expect to see 'ati' in place of 'atimisc'. Further, if you have a radeon card, the driver is 'radeon'. You could also check to ensure your ModulePath(s) are correct. Assuming you have built all other objects correctly, this should work.
