fglrx 10.5 X segfault

Hi all
I'm at slackware64 13.1, kernel 2.6.33.4, videocard Ati FirePro v5700, fglrx 8.723

I built kernel module using patch for 2.6.33, then run aticonfig --initial ant started X, everything was fine except boost for maya (such cards intended to boost performance of some apps)
After that i found in aticonfig --help some extra options
run "aticonfig --initial --use-app-profile=maya --overlay-type=opengl --sync-vsync=on --pseudo-color=off"
i've lost my xorg.conf and after reboot got segfault..
I have tried a dozen of confs and drived reinstalations but every time same error

Code:

(**) Option "xkb_rules" "evdev"

(**) Option "xkb_model" "evdev"

(**) Option "xkb_layout" "us,ru"

(**) Option "xkb_variant" ",winkeys"

(**) Option "xkb_options" "terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp,grp:rwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

(II) fglrx(0): Restoring Recent Mode via PCS is not supported in RANDR 1.2 capable environments

I didn't read it, but it certainly looks good.

yes i do, but not found any solutions, only one thread about dual-head
there is

Quote:

Btw, that segfault you posted seems to come from within X, not from fglrx.

Agreed. This segfault seens to be related to X itself. And probably it has to do with, guess what? Composite :D I´m not sure, but I think composite is now enabled by default in the newer versions of Xorg. I´m trying to disable it in xorg.conf file, but I´m not sure if Xorg cares about it, since it look like it´s just ignoring my configuration.

I add
"Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection"
in my xorg.conf , but same error

business_kid
your link about OpenCL and solution is "upgrade to new version of catalist"

Removing /etc/ati folder, reinstalling fglrx and aticonfig --initial did the job
happy and :)
