    What card are you running?

    What happens when you manually modprobe fglrx?

    Anything of relevance in your X log?

      Hi,

      My video card is Radeon X300

      $ modprobe fglrx

          Did you try reinstalling all of the RPMs? (or make sure all four were installed)

            Yes, i think the problem came from the version of gcc or architecture problem.
            There error during the modeprod let me think this.

            I just tried to use by hand:
            # modeprod -f fglrx
            and it works

            But i dont understand yet why did i need to add the -f option

            Sh

              some other trace of the problem.
              # demsg
              ...
              fglrx: version magic '2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 SMP mod_unload 686 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1' should be '2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 SMP mod_unload 586 REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-4.1'

              Looks like i586 and i686 conflic!

                After browsing the web, my problem seems to be referenced their: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla....cgi?id=211941

                Wrong kernel architecture with FC6 due to anacron bug.
                This is the reason why i've got an i586 kernel instead of a i686.

                  Thus i've just removed my kernel:

                  # yum remove kernel
                  It removes a i586 version
                  and then (just after):
                  # yum install kernel
                  it install a i686 version
                  Then i've reconfigured grub (do not forget to reconfigure grub!!!)
                  Then i reboot

                  After, reboot, i've removed all ATI package
                  #rpm -e ATI-fglrx-control-panel-8.30.3-1.fc6 ATI-fglrx-8.30.3-1.fc6 kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6-8.30.3-1.fc6 ATI-fglrx-devel-8.30.3-1.fc6

                  Then, i rebuild all the package
                  # ./ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6./ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6

                  and it works!

                  # lsmod | grep fglrx
                  fglrx 414252 8
