Here is where we are. After installing 8.42.3, I found that rpm -e of
either the 8.40 or 8.41 driver failed to remove and replace the
/usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2* library with the new /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2*
from 8.42. This was causing a conflict that borked fglrx. After fixing
this by moving /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.old and then
# ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2
"J" (CyberOrg) was most helpful in pointing out that there may be other
libGL conflicts. However, after make the above change, fgl_glxgears and
fglrxinfo work as they are supposed to. Also, after looking for
additional conflicts, I think I'm OK. (do you see anything else amiss)

However, the AIT control center (/usr/bin/amdcccle) still will NOT
run. I haven't a clue what is causing this problem. As we spoke, the
java error is still present:
[root rankin-p35a/home/david] # /usr/bin/amdcccle
amdcccle: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed.
Aborted
"export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true", eliminates the error, but the
control center will not start and requires a ctrl+c to kill the process.
Also, "aticonfig" will NOT run.
I have posted my xorg.conf. If anyone can take a look and see if there
is anything wrong, I would appreciate it. It is at:
http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/xorg.conf
J also has a very helpful blog for the new drivers:
http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~cyberorg/2007/10/24/ati-8433-on-opensuse-the-hard-way/
The blog pointed out that I needed to edit xorg.conf and add:
Option “AIGLX” “true” to "ServerFlags" and change the extensions:
Section “Extensions
Option “DAMAGE” “true”
Option “Composite” “true”
EndSection
This is where I am. I have not loaded xorg 7.3 yet and I am still
trying to get compiz working. "kwin" works like a dream, good 3D, frame
rates, etc. My goal is NOT to have to reload 10.3! That shouldn't be
necessary, and I don't want to kill 5 hours installing, patching and
re-tweaking, even with the benefit of Yast autoinstall and simply saving
and remounting /home.
So I am back to my plea for HELP! Y'all have been great to help me get
this far, and I'm confident I can make this work. Is the anything else I
can send or post that might help get to the bottom of what is going on??
