Yep! I got the same problem. I think I traced
it down to the file name. I'd downloaded the system to a windows disk and then
tried toexecute the rpm form the Windows partition after:
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/f
rpm -i fglrx-... same results, well
some times they would run from the terminal window in KDE
Finally I repeated the downloan in a Linux browser
and low and behold the file name was different and they would execute.
Alas I find that fglrxconfig doesn't work properly!
the XF86Config-4 file is mall formed. I'm trying to decipher the thing now, but
with no doc from ATI it's slow going...
I would say you dont have the install, so you don't
have the driver fglrx or the flawed configurator program. You've got to
get the RPM's to run and then watch the output. It will try to compile a
kernel module this worked on my system. So NOW it's a matter of next getting the
config file right at least for me. I'm successful in running single headed
with the fglrx driver, but I want a double headed sysem...

Subject: [XFree86] ATI Radion 9000 Pro ML
9.0 Configuration Error
All,
My issue is
similar to those experienced by William G. Lea but as there are some subtle
differences, I thought I would start a new thread.
My
setup:
Mandrake Linux
9.0
kernel:2
.4.19
XFree86 Version
4.2.1
Problems:
however,
when I login as root and try:
$>rpm -i <name of file for x server
4.2.x> :
yields no ouptut, so do I assume
everything is ok
$>rpm -q <name of file for x server
4.2.x> :tells me
the package is not installed
$>rpm -qpl <name of file for x server4
.2.x> : yieldslds no output
Also I also
can' seem to find where "fglrxconfig" is meant to be
installed let alone run it!
Solution:
Is it to upgrade
to XFree86 4.2.99.902? If so is there any an additional patch and
also do I need to add anything extra the to the config
file?
Regards
Daniel
