fglrx is really pissing me off

I'm confident that I have configured xorg.conf correctly and everything, but I am not able to get xorg running at all.

Here's why, according to the log

(II) fglrx(0): POWERplay version 3.  1 power state available:
(II) fglrx(0):   1. 324/297MHz @ 50Hz [enable load balancing]
(EE) fglrx(0): === [swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetModeTimingOverride failed: 7
(EE) fglrx(0): === [swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetModeTimingOverride failed: 7
(EE) fglrx(0): === [swlDalHelperAddCustomizeMode] === CWDDEDI_DisplayGetSetModeTimingOverride failed: 7

9: /usr/bin/X(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0x211) [0x80731f1]

what the hell is powerplay and how do I disable it? All I keep finding are configurations for the radeon driver.

By the way, I'm using a crappy little X300.

Re: fglrx is really pissing me off

disregard this

fixed this (and aticonfig segfaults) by removing comments in Device and Monitor sections
