Hi,
I've installed the ati-glrx-beyond package with the ati drivers and noticed that my xorg.conf was gone (not sure if it was there in the first place):
find / -name xorg.conf
returns no files.
Anyway, X runs fine, with the correct resolution and everything (no direct rendering though). The problem is that I can't configure it with aticonfig (as the configuration file isn't there)...running Xorg -configure crashes with the following message:
List of video drivers:
fglrx
ati
atimisc
r128
radeon
vesa

Any ideas what might be wrong? Thanks in advance

A bug in the ATI drivers prevents you from using autoconfiguration. You could move away the fglrx driver file or uninstall the ATI driver temporarily and use Xorg -configure to generate a generic config using the vesa or vga driver first, then move the things back in place and use aticonfig to generate the ati-specific xorg.conf.

Thanks, it worked

just an added note, but there are two config files for xorg, which werks fine, for me anyways
XF86Config
or
xorg.conf
in my case the nvidia configuration created XF86Cnfig, and xorg picks it up no problem..
