I have a problem with ATI 8.25.18 Radeon drivers. It's not my first drivers upgrade, but for the first time I have no idea what to do, to make them work properly. There was no problem with installation and the make.sh and make_install.sh files didn't show any errors. However, when I try to run my X server I get this message:
Code:

Did you uninstall the old driver first? There is an uninstall script ( though it breaks your /etc/profile file - so back it up before running ) somewhere in /usr/X11/ati ( not really sure anymore ). If you didn't - do it and reinstall, worked for me.
Did you use driver installer? It seems to me, as the module is build for the wrong xorg version:

.
Anyway, I used the driver installer, which works really well, no need to run make.sh and make_install.sh.
I know that the driver installer has support for xorg 6.9, but I'm not sure about the drivers for a special version of X, so guess that might be the problem.
