I remember noticing that others had the same problem - that even after
successfully installing the 8.42 drivers, the ATI control center won't
launch.
I found this quick howto after googling for some while, and thought I'd
save you some time by sharing it:

-------------------------

little HowTo for openSUSE 10.3 32-bit (based on Snake's HOWTO)

1. Download xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm
<ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/linux/opensuse/distribution/10.3/repo/src-oss/suse/src/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm>

2. Open a console window as user not as root
Code:

rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-75.src.rpm

3. Now you can find file "xorg-x11-libX11.spec" at /usr/src/packages/SPECS

edit these 2 lines:
Code:

%define xcb 0

# rm -rf "$RPM_BUILD_ROOT"

4. build the rpm packages

Code:

rpmbuild -ba /usr/src/packages/SPECS/xorg-x11-libX11.spec

5. After that, there are a new directory
"/var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build/". From there you can copy the
needed file. For example:

Code:

cp /usr/var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build/usr/lib/libX11.so* ~/

6. Try amdcccle
Code:

LD_PRELOAD=~/libX11.so.6 amdcccle

7. If all runs fine , you can remove the temp directory.

Code:

rm -r /var/tmp/xorg-x11-libX11-7.2-build

----------------------------

After I followed the above instructions, I opened the ATI CCC menu item
in KDE's menu editor and set the launch command to
"LD_PRELOAD=~/libX11.so.6 amdcccle".

Magnar.
