Livna kmod-fglrx-8.24.8-1.2.6.16_1.2096_FC5.x86_64 woes...

[Ubence Quevedo]

Hello Again All,

I've installed the the latest Kernel 2.6.16_1.2096 for my x86_64  
based system that I have with my ATi X1800XL.  From what I've read on  
bugzilla.livna.org, it looked like the problems with the x86_64  
version of the 8.24.8 drive had been fixed.  I installed the kmod- 
fglrx-8.24.8-1.2.6.16_1.2096_FC5.x86_64.rpm and xorg-x11-drv- 
fglrx-8.24.8-1.lvn5.x86_64.rpm via yum.  After I rebooted, and went  
into X, the display is all garbled and useless.  I have to ctrl-alt- 
backspace to get back to the command prompt.  Is there something that  
I have missed?  I had to remove the driver to get X working again.   
Has anyone else got the newest Livna packaged ATi driver to work with  
their X1X00 series ATi card?

Thanx...
