I jt fin compiling X and the ati-drivers, i run the fgrlxconfig and set it up, to what seemed to be to me, correctly, however when i startx i get:
Code:

(EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit Failed!
Module called exit() function with value=1
XIO: fatal IO error 104 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

the whole log is at http://home.earthlink.net/~seph429/XFree86.0.log
and the config file is iat
http://home.earthlink.net/~seph429/XF86Config-4

I have a Radeon 8500 if it matters

thanks for any help in the matter

Make sure you don't have any DRM support in your kernel, and try setting UseInternalAGPGART to no.
