FC7 and ATI 8.38.6 ==> not working?

[daarty]

Hey,
I just downloaded the new ati drivers and installed them.
But each time when I try to start X11 with the drivers it crashes.

here is the Xorg log http://pastebin.ca/590426

I took a look again on the fglrx-install.log and besides the "normal" compile warnings, I got a warning in the post-compile step...

here again the log: http://pastebin.ca/590430
( the compiler warnings are in german i'm afraid, but the other warning isn't)

Someoone able to help?
Thanks

daarty

Fedora 7 and fglrx isn't working right now unless downgrading the X server.

I'm sorry, i thought that this had been fixedi n the newest patch.

Debian's problem appears to be the same as Fedora7

See unofficial bugzilla bug: 684

Particularly the last attached Xorg log: Here

Comparing the backtrace at the bottom of both (also taking into account that your backtrace is from 8.38.6 and the one on that bug is with 8.37.6):

They are similar enough that I'd be willing to bet it's the same bug. So as bad as it is, Fedora is not alone.
