ATI 9550 with FC6... some help needed


I've tried installing the drivers from the ATI site (btw... why is "x86_64" always part of the installer file even when you don't specify 64-bit?).

The install process runs smoothly. But after I run 'aticonfig --initial', I get this when running fglrxinfo:

Code:
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)
So, although I didn't get any errors whatsoever during the install, it's clear that the ATI drivers are not being used.

Also, when I reboot my computer X doesn't start... and so I do a rescue to change the xorg.conf file so I can get X started again.

Any suggestions?

Ok... I tried a reinstall, and now I'm having more serious problems. When I try to run something simple like aterm I get this error:

aterm: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/xorg/libGL.so.1: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied


Should I just stop while I'm ahead?
