ATI headaches again...Xorg and 3D


Hello colleagues;

When I installer MDV2006 for AMD64 for the first time, I was able to get the 3D of mi Ati Radeon 9200SE running. I did:
- update Xorg from cooker (6.9.0-1 version)
- Download the latest .run from the ati website
- init 3
- ./xxxxxxxx.rum
- modprobe fglrx.ko (there were a few, I donīt remember which one I chose)
- insmod fglrx.ko
- reboot the system.

Now I have updated to Xorg 6.9.0-5 form the "updates" repo, and I have followed the same steps, witth the old driver I had from ATi and with the latest one. And........... It doesnīt work, of course.
I have tried to install it running MDV in failsafe modo but it hasn,t gone better.
When I execute commands like glxgears or glxinfo, it reports a problem related witth XFree86-Dri (not installed I think).

Any ideas.... Itīs boring some things demand so much work and time to get them running on linux...

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards

use xorg 6.8.2 6.9 is not supported by the ATI drivers.

when i attempted to install ati on a 6.9.0 it wouldent even start the installation script.

try running fgl_glxgears and see what it says.

then, what can I do??

Hello;

Thank you for your response.
When I execute fglxinfo, glxgears, and so on, It appears the Mesa driver.

How could I go back to Xorg 6.8.2 ??
