Codemac, which version of the drivers are you using?
What errors (if any) are you getting in Xorg.0.log?
I had a problem with xv when I first switched to Xorg 7, but it went away on its own and I don't have any clue why it was happening in the first place.

I'm using your most recent, and I have no erors or warnings in my Xorg.0.log.

Did some googling about your error message, codemac, and came across a post in the Ubuntu forums that suggested this:
If you can't get XV to work and your using the ATI binary driver try adding this to your xorg.conf file in the device section:
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"Fixed the problem for me

I'm amazed. This went so flawlessly it almost hurt. Running X.org 6.8. Didn't have to alter anything, remove anything. Just restarted X and modprobed :-D

That worked wonderfully, thanks Cerebral.

Iphitus is hard at work, guys, trying to bring us official arch packages for ati-drivers and xorg 7.
He's hit upon an idea that I think is better than the method my packages here use to install fglrx - the kernel module and userspace files are now in seperate packages, allowing for clean, efficient pacman-management of all ati-drivers files and removing the single-kernel limitation of previous builds of the package. This, IMO, is the best way to handle it, and I'm kind of disappointed I didn't think of it myself.
Once he's got a good set of drivers up, I'd wholly recommend you all use them instead of my packages here - for the time being, my experience suggests the current packages in [testing] won't quite work properly, and I'm hoping iph will take my advice in the thread linked above.
-edit-
Iphitus and I worked together to get the ati-drivers packages in testing working, and working well. I've added a notice to the first post in this thread - I'm planning on sticking with the repo versions of the ATI drivers from now on. I haven't removed my packages from this thread yet, but I'm no longer actively maintaining them.
If you're not using xorg 7 yet, then you can still use the ati-drivers available in [community] that are built for xorg 6.8. If you are using xorg 7, then I recommend you remove my package and update to the version in [testing]

Great package, tho sadly I can't install it:
Once built, the package complains that it conflicts with libgl-dri, preventing me from installing it. I can't uninstall libgl-dri, since it's required by mesa, which in turn is required by qt, freeglut....
Any suggestions?

Komodo: Any reason you prefer not to install the packages available in [extra]?
To answer your question though, this happens because libgl-dri provides libgl, but so does ati-drivers (my package here AND the ones in the repos).
To fix it you need to remove libgl-dri:
pacman -Rd libgl-dri
then install ati-drivers.

First let me thank cerebral & iphitus for all the hard work they've done in providing nice & workin with Xorg7 ati-drivers to a lot of guys
Even so, I can't get them to load on my small Dell Latitude L400 laptop.
I installed Xorg7 stricltly following the (brand) new wiki, then configured xorg.conf (adding synaptics & giving Xorg -configure a try).
Installed ati-drivers & ~-arch (8.22.5-3 & ~-2), but when I wanna load fglrx, here's what I get :
# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.15-ARCH/video/fglrx.ko): No such device
Adding fglrx to rc.conf (also tried to add to mkinitrd.conf "ADD_MODULE=") didn't help.
Also launched aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf but X still did not start.
Any help would be very welcome.

kozaki: the ati-drivers packages in [extra] only support radeon cards, not rage.
You'll have to stick with xf86-video-ati and your old xorg.conf device section.

allright, I got it :-/
Yet thank you for your work
