Anyways, following varioius google advice I got this far: converted the driver from rpm to deb turned init to lev 3 did Code: dpkg -i --force-overwrite /home/xxx/fglrx..... then Code: cd .lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/sh ./make.sh then Code: cd/lib/modules/fglrx/sh ./make_install.sh All went without a hitch... Did Code: fglrxconfig and followed the info, anything I didnt know I left default. Then rebooted. Not necessary but I wanted to Logged on, started X and did fglrxinfo. It still says its using Mesa!! I also copied the CF86Config-4 file that fglrxConfig made into my /etc/X11 dir. I'm out ideas? Any help? Thanks Hong

I use Fedora Core 3 and a ATI 9800XT 256RAM and Im having the exact same issues as you. I followed the commands outlined in ATI which can be found here http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/linuxhowto-ati.html

I used Xorg 6.8, ran everything, never got any errors, then when i reboot and type in fglrxinfo I get this merssage:

Quote:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.1)

I have no idea what to do now.
