Xorg7.1.1 fglrx

Hey guys,
I previously had the ati drivers working with zenwalk3 and i think it was xorg 6.8/9?
But today i updated to Zenwalk4 (which uses xorg7.1.1) and have installed the ati drivers.

Ive loaded the fglrx module:

Code:

lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx                 340460  0
agpgart                16332  2 fglrx,nvidia_agp

but then when i try to startx using fglrx as the driver i get this error (taken from xorg log):

Code:

(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(WW) Warning, couldn't open module fglrx
(II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module does not exist, 0)

how come it cant load the module when its already loaded? :s
does anyone know how to get this working with xorg7.1.1 ?

the reason i need the fglrx drivers is because i have a dual screen setup, and when i use the 'ati' or 'radeon' drivers it only seems to allow either 1 screen to work, or both in clone mode, wheres fglrx allows dual head which i want.

Thanks
Kane

Ive sorted it

just incase anyone else is looking for the solution

in my xorg.conf i had to add another ModulePath:

Code:
ModulePath "/usr/lib/X11/modules"
ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"

and now its working fine

even with my old xorg config from Zw3

*happydance*
