at last drivers for the X1x00 cards!
trouble getting mine to work perfectly, why cant they just use the old "fglrxconfig"!
i used the automatic method, and when i installed it the last message was "there was some errors during installtion" anyway i did "aticonfig --initial" and rebooted.
i then did 'startx' which the xserver did load but left me staring at a white screen. but by flcking between VTs eg flick to the VT used on " ctrl+alt F8" then back to "ctl+alt F7" the desktop would properly appear, once i had turned down the gamma which set way too high it looked well. the white screen happens every time i booted no matter what i have tried so far.
i thought the problems where due to a conflict between the inital VESA driver i had in my xorg.conf and atis driver but that didnt help. no DRI support
