I haven't been able to get the OpenGL drivers to work for my Radeon x1400 notebook chipset. I have tried installing both the livna 8.29.6 drivers as well as the new 8.30.3 drivers. I've also used the reference xorg.conf file from the forums, but nothing seems to work!
I keep getting the following on running fglrxinfo:
(II) fglrx(0): detected X.org 7.1.1.0

hmm... from the second part, it seems like the DRI could not be initialized! Could someone tell me why this could be and what I should do to overcome this?!
also... when I'm installing the 8.30.3 drivers, the ati installer cannot recognize the version of X.Org. It says, "unknown version" or something along those lines...
