Can't get X to work with ATI

[Samuel Díaz García]

I have xorg working with fglrx driver with some problems before:
  1) You need to expend some time with your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
  2) You need to patch your 8.21.7 driver. 

I have a laptop with FC4 and fglrx working fine (hibernating, suspending, 
resuming, etc....). 

If you want, I can send you my xorg.conf file and my patched fglrx sources 
and you can try them. 

Regards
