fireglcontrolpanel + FC6

compat-libstdc++-33 is what you need. Make sure that it's 33 in the RPM and not 296 or something else. After that you should hopefully be good.

Yes, compat-libstdc++-33 - 3.2.3-61.x86_64 package is installed ...

Hmmm are you able to install the i386 version as well without conflicts? Though I hadn't run into this issue on any x86_64 systems that I can recall.

Yes, that solve it Thanks I've installed "compat-libstdc++-33-3.2.3-61.i386" without problems, but now face new problems. Well I think they "belong" to this topic.

For those running into problems still, fc6_try_production is a new user that has condensed some of the information and packages needed all into one message. He also has a fix for a Livna problem. (Right now he is having problems posting)

...I thinki have found the solution for some problems:

When trying to build the ati.com ATI drivers on FC6 , one MUST have installed:
1. development libraries packages
2. development tools packages
3. GNOME development packages
4. X development packages
5. Old Software development -> compat-libdistc++-33-*
6. qt-devel
7. rpm-build

Then it compiles fine, no problems with "cannot stat . . ." etc.

Solution to persistent MESA GL renderer when installing the 8.31.5 driver from livna:
xorg-X11-drv-fglrx-8.31.5.lvn6.i386

The corresponding libGL.so.1.2 will be installed in /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/ . Of course, the existing ligGL.so.1.2 provided by MESA, which resides in /usr/lib, will be found in the path first. So rename /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/ligGL.so.1.2.MESA and copy /usr/lib/ati-fglrx/ligGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib . It did the trick. After restarting X i got the following on fglrxinfo:

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON X300 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6174 (8.31.5)

So there you are ;-))

Ok, I cant get into my system anymore. I'm not happy.

I went through this whole thread before I tried anything
and read the howto that Michael wrote.

Installed the kernel-headers qt-devel etc etc all that jazz.

I even copied over config.h

Why I tried to build the rpm's it wouldnt go until I
makde the lib64 lib link, then it built the rpms for me.

Tried to install the rpm's and said they conflicted
with two other rpms, one was xorg-X11-drv-fglrx and
the other was fglrx.kmod so I removed both of them
with yum, and then installed the newly built rpms.

Now my system will boot, and even the fancy framebuffer
will start when the system is loading, however when the
login screen is supposed to appear the screen freaks out
lots of different colored lines flash on the screen, then
it just sits there at a blank screen and does nothing.

I cant log in at all. I cant even switch to another session
by using ctrl+alt+F2

Can someone please tell me how to boot the system into
a non-graphic mode so I can try to untinstall the ATI
drivers and fix the problem.

Very frustraiting.

combas,

When you see GRUB starting and can select your differentr installed kernels, hit "a" and then at the end of the line type 3 and that will boot you to runlevel 3. From there you can login with the console and then try reinstalling the RPMs, etc...

What graphics card are you using? Are you able to get your Xorg.0.log? What does your xorg.conf look like? Are you using the new fglrx 8.32.5?
