I get this error:


(EE) module ABI major version (0) doesn't match the server's version (1)
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module requirement mismatch, 0)
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so: undefined symbol: miZeroLineScreenIndex
(EE) Failed to load /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (loader failed, 7)
(EE) No drivers available.


even if I ignore the ABI I get the miZeroLineScreenIndex Error

[kkkk]

my bad,
I compiled the drivers with an old script
now works.
