ATI 3D Driver Hell!

[Christopher Henderson]

So ATI recently released some new and updated accelerated drivers that also support Red Hat 8.  I downloaded and read over the instructions very very carefully. I removed the XFree86-Mesa libs as it asked without a hitch and then proceeded to install the fglrx drivers as stated.  I ran the config program and generated an XFree86.conf file.  Then I run startx and errorvile - can't find a screen it claims.  Now I've run xfree86cfg (is that the command-line one? or is it xfree86conf) before in the past and am no stranger to most of those questions - I've set up X before via that kind of program under Red Hat, Slackware, Debian, and FreeBSD - all without a problem.  I know what settings my monitor has and I know what it needs.  But this has me stumped.  I'm obviously not a guru so I can't really figure it out - heres my error log as generated.... -------------------------------------------------- XFree86 Version 4.2.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.2.0-72) / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 23 January 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems.
