I need fglrx-8.34.8 for kernel-2.6.21

fglrx & fglrx-utils v8.36.5 crash X, and can not compile fglrx-8.34.8 with current kernel(2.6.21),
it seems fglrx-8.34.8 don't support kernel-2.6.21, right?
I try fglrx-8.36.5 & fglrx-utils-8.34.8 will start X, but no opengl.

Ubuntu32 7.04 can also start X which use fglrx-8.34.8 but not Ubuntu64.

My system is:
Asus M2A-VM (AMD690G with Ati x1250)
DDR2 667 1GB x 4

Re: I need fglrx-8.34.8 for kernel-2.6.21

can you supply more info?
A couple of things you could try:

Check fglrx driver is loaded properly.

Read X.org logs

Mixing fglrx and fglrx-utils versions is not a good idea

From the release notes of the latest driver:

This release on the AMD Catalyst™ Linux Graphics Driver software suite introduces support for Linux Kernel 2.6.20.

So it seems previous drivers won't work with 2.6.2* kernels

Edit: tested at home and it's working

fglrx-8.36.5 don't work on any x64 Linux with Ati x1250(Asus M2A-VM M/B),
I give up the Ati x1250 and plug PCI TNT2 Lite.

x64 Linux I tried Arch/Debian/Ubuntu/OpenSuse...
