Anyway, I've come across another problem. ATI drivers... I grabbed the v8.28.8 rpm from ati.com for x.org (the 17MB one, not the full 50MB+ installer), and getting a message about version mismatch when trying to start X when using this driver? ------ ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0 [R200Setup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 7.1.0, required X.org 6.8.0.0
Xorg broke ABI with 7.x release, hence message above. Driver you have is for xorg-6.8. You'll need ATI 8.27.10 drivers, they have support for Xorg-7.1.[1] Also,I see from message above that you have R200. Quote from link below: "There still is no further word on the status of R200 products with these drivers." But, better check [2]
