大家不要安装了，aticonfig没法设置xorg.conf，复制成备份文件后，就没有xorg.conf了，不郭我的机器还是能进x window，还是一样的死机，等待高手的教程或开源的fglrx驱动吧

Unfortunately, the fglrx 8.38 release today does not fix the issues we saw with fglrx 8.37 and Fedora 7. It's uncertain whether or not the next release will fix the bug, however there is a known workaround to use fglrx and Fedora 7 posted by leigh123@linux here.

fglrx 8.38 Livna RPMs are being build and will be available from the livna-testing repository.

R3XX/R4XX用户有了radeon驱动，基本上就可以不考虑fglrx了，新、旧一点的卡子还学需要fglrx的。

Hitting the web this afternoon was the AMD 8.38.6 display driver. Introduced in this driver was official Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 packaging scripts. Fixed in this driver was moving a video window between two monitors in a Big Desktop configuration no longer crashing the X.Org server and playing multiple videos when TexturedVideo is enabled no longer results in corruption.

To much dismay, the fglrx 8.38.6 display driver continues to have problems with X server 1.3 namely on Fedora 7. This driver will not work with Fedora 7 unless downgrading the X server. This driver also continues to lack support for AIGLX and Beryl/Compiz without the use of XGL. Finally, the 8.38.6 fglrx driver continues does not contain support for the ATI/AMD Radeon HD 2000 series.

The AMD 8.38.6 driver this month is rather dismal for the end user who has been craving support for AIGLX or just even to run the driver with Fedora 7 and other new distributions. However, hopefully in the coming driver releases we will have better news to report.

等8.39了

New Features

This release of the Catalyst® Linux graphics driver introduces support for RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.

唉，可惜我的Centos5装载vmware里了，享受不到了，实在受不了两个系统来回重启着切换。

想以前rhel4的时候，我装了ati驱动，跑enemy territory，效果还是很不错的。

希望 AIGLX 问题能引起 ati的注意.
