Thanks for that impressively quick reply, Wolfy.
I have re-upgraded to 15-12.1 for compatibility with you.
$ yum list installed "*fglrx*"
Installed Packages
fglrx-x11-drv.x86_64 15.12-1.el6.elrepo @elrepo
kmod-fglrx.x86_64 15.12-1.el6.elrepo @elrepo
The attempt to start X crashes as before, and Xorg.0.log contains
[ 78452.929] (II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
[ 78452.930] (II) Loading /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so

[ 78452.949] compiled for 1.4.99.906, module version = 15.30.3
but lower down, just before the segfault, it says
[ 78453.692] (II) fglrx(0): Kernel Module Version Information:
[ 78453.692] (II) fglrx(0): Name: fglrx

in contrast to your
[ 44.090] (II) fglrx(0): Version: 15.30.3
[ 44.090] (II) fglrx(0): Date: Dec 17 2015
below
Does that mean the the Kernel Module Version Information is coming from
somewhere other than /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.so? If
so, where?
Could I be doing something wrong in my (re)installation? I am just
using "yum upgrade" (or downgrade) with the elrepo repository enabled.

Hello,
I have SL 6.7, on a Dell Optiplex 980 with a Radeon 6450 card installed.
The elrepo fglrx driver has been working through successive updates of SL
and kernel for a couple of years. Yesterday I upgraded the kernel to
2.6.32-573.12.1.el6.x86_64 and took the occasion to upgrade
fglrx-x11-drv.x86_64 and kmod-fglrx.x86_64 to 15.12-1.el6.elrepo.
X then failed to start, so I downgraded to 15.11-1.el6.elrepo, but that
didn't help.
The current state of play is
$ yum list installed "*fglrx*"
Installed Packages
fglrx-x11-drv.x86_64 15.11-1.el6.elrepo @elrepo
kmod-fglrx.x86_64 15.11-1.el6.elrepo @elrepo
xorg.conf hasn't changed. I've compared against backups.
What look like relevant lines in Xorg.0.log (same for 15-11 and 15-12) are:

And then it segfaults.
I am puzzled by that 15.20.3 given the version of kmod-fglrx,
That's the internal version value as defined by AMD
but I have tried reinstalling and it stays the same.
Of course it does. It's hard coded in the driver
$ rpm -ql kmod-fglrx

Any ideas?
As far as I can see, you are on 15.11 now. I am running myself 15.12 for a
month without issues. Actually I run it for 3 days prior to pushing it to the
official repositories.

So to cut a ling story short: unfortunately I have no idea why it does not
work for you. The only difference ( modulo the chipset) is that I am using
CentOS but this should not matter at all. And the packages were built in pure
RHEL.
wolfy, scratching head.
