    New ATI Drivers 10.4

    I just installed ATI Driver 10.4 on my Fedora 12 (released today)

    It was said that it was going to work with Fedora 12

    Now the problem is that after i installed it i restarted the computer and now instead of a login screen my monitor goes into "Sleep Mode"

    No terminal mode, nothing :S

    So now my question is. How do i fix this? and how do i get the driver to work?

    Does GRUB Menu appear at startup? What about rescue or single user mode?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Yes i can see almost everything

    Grub -> Fedora loading screen then just when the "login" screen should pop up everything goes black and the monitor is going to sleep :/

    Press Alt+Ctrl+F3 at blank screen. Does it switch to command line mode?
    As I asked earlier, does it boot up in single user mode?

    No, don't or.. you can't really say :P because you kinda lose connection with the monitor.

    But if you add a "3" in the end of the kernel i can access the command line :P

    And when i uninstalled it it worked again but the driver should work with my Card and Kernel :S what can the problem be?

    Its a incompatibilty problem only. It looks like either xorg version or Kernel does not support new version of Driver. Just for a few days for an update.

    Did you remove your xorg.conf file before installing the new driver?
    If the kernel would not support the drivers you would not have been able to compile the drivers on your kernel sources.

    So I would try to remove the xorg.conf file. Install the ati drivers. After the installation execute:
    Code:
    update-modules -f
    Code:
    aticonfig --initial -f
    Reboot your machine.
