I use the vesa driver because it's the only driver that will work with my card that is on the list of drivers. There are a few problems when I use vesa. When I try to logout, shutdown, or restart the computer goes blank when it is trying to shut down startX. I have to reboot manually, recheck the file system at startup and fix the file system.

If you use the fglrx driver you need to get either fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm from ATI or glx1_linux_X4.3.zip from http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/body_download_ati.html Both are the same rpm but the zip file also contains the check.sh a file.list and a README. I have attached a walk-through for running fglrxconfig that I had done for another, this should assist you in its proper set-up.
