Hi allz,

I just installed the new ATI 8.35.5 driver with Fedora/F7. --buildpkg Fedora/F7 went smoothly and the appropriate rpms have all been built and installed properly.
My prob is now that atiddxSetup detects a wrong X-Window Version during X-Window start.

Here is the corresponding Xorg.0.log:

>(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
>(II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
> compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.35.5
> Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0
>[atiddxSetup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 1.3.-1.902, required >X.org 7.1.0.0
>(II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"

..so fglrx fails to load because of a x version mismatch...

Anybody here with similiar problems and maybe even a solution? ;-)
Should I install another X-version? 7.1? How do I get it? (yum install ... ?)

Any hint is highly appreciated..

thx in advance!

you should degrade to 7.2 at best. (that version works for me). i haven't used fedora even once so i have no idea.

by the way ... it says "compiled for 7.1.0". it appears that x.org-7.2 is not that much different from 7.1, since it can use driver built for previous version.

does is mean that adding x.org 7.2 support to fglrx was as simple as doing a one-line modification in version checker in fglrx source code? :]
