   Is it possible to make ATI proprietary driver fglrx work with the
latest xorg packages?

   I installed fglrx packages (build the kernel module etc.) but it
doesn't seem to accept xorg 7:

(II) fglrx(0): UMM Bus area:     0xd0acb000 (size=0x07535000)
(II) fglrx(0): UMM area:     0xd0acb000 (size=0x07535000)
(II) fglrx(0): driver needs X.org 6.8.x.y with x.y >= 99.8
(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 7.0.0.0
(II) Loading extension ATIFGLRXDRI
(II) fglrx(0): doing DRIScreenInit

   does it mean it's not going to work until ATI releases a new driver
with support for xorg 7? Anybody had any success with the free driver
(it has at least some 3D experimental features).

   relevant packages:

ii  fglrx-control                   8.24.8-1
ii  fglrx-driver                    8.24.8-1
ii  fglrx-driver-dev                8.24.8-1
ii  fglrx-kernel-2.6.15jojda        8.24.8-1+jojda.0
ii  fglrx-kernel-src                8.24.8-1

ii  xserver-xorg                    7.0.22

   TIA,

Hi Eric
I also had a lot of trouble to get this going on debian ... it seems
the fglrx driver doesn't like it when the kernel was compiled with
including CONFIG_DRM=y and CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y ... When you compiled
this kernel-module you also have to modprobe this into the kernel "modprobe
fglrx" ... when DRM was already compiled into the kernel this modprobe
will fail.
