installing fglrx driver in Fedora core 6

[ex3chiune]

hi everybody,
This is the first time that i use linux, and I have encounter some problem when i tried to install my fglrx driver for my radeon 9800 xt on fedora core 6.

I am using the driver from the livna.org

First i install the livna packet in console (without starting X)
rpm -ivh livna-release-6.rpm

then i install the fglrx driver
yum install glx-utils
yum install kmod-fglrx

and it installs some dependencies with the driver

since i have 2 monitors, i use aticonfig --initial=dual-head

Then i startx.

I turns out that driver does not work properly.
this is my fglrxinfo

libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

I have been googling for a week, but i still can't fix it.
Thanks for everyone's help

Is your system working if you run it with only one monitor?

[jacksmash]

why not just install the ATI drivers? i'm running FC6 and they work for me.

[ex3chiune]

i just get my driver to work when i disable the composite in the xorg.conf

but if i do this, can i still use beryl ?

fglrx does not support AIGLX/Beryl & Compiz yet.
