Getting an ATI 9250 to work using fglrx, weird prob


I am trying to use the accerlerated graphics on a older comp(see sig), using Fedora Core 6; so have installed kmod-fglrx and it seems to be there when i hit fglrx. I have even changed xorg 'driver' to fglrx instead of radeon. When it tries to boot into the gui upon startup it barfs and uses the default setting. This is the same when I init 3 and try startx. System config display doesn't help much either.

Weird error i get is:
Fatal error
bi screens found

XIO: fatal IO error 104 on X server ":0.0"

Anyone have ideas?

Check the log file after it crashes? /var/log/xorg.0.log
That's the best place to start looking for clues.
