Hello,
I just reinstalled and for some reason now when I try to configure X using the proprietary ATI drivers using the command 'aticonfig --initial' my keyboard doesn't work and if I use the command 'Xorg -configure' X crashes and yields the message "Caught signal 11" sever aborting.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

One, do you have xf86-input-evdev?
Two, are you using a custom kernel?
Three, does this config work for you:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "aticonfig-Screen[0]-0" 0 0
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "aticonfig-Monitor[0]-0"

Option "ModelName" "Generic Autodetecting Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "true"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "aticonfig-Device[0]-0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "UseFastTLS" "1"
Option "VideoOverlay" "off"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
Option "Textured2D" "on"
Option "BackingStore" "on"
EndSection
Section "Screen"

I do have xf86-input-evdev. I have the stock kernel. I will try it and post back.

Ok. Sorry I took so long, lot of things going on. I tried your configuration and it works. Thank you.
Edit: Dang it. Now when I type
"glxinfo | grep direct"
It spews out the error,
"X error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 136 (GLX)
Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString)
Serial number of failed request: 14
Current serial number in output stream: 14"
And my heating fan is also running crazy fast right now, and it did not used to.
Edit 2: Fixed it by uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling. Fan is quiet again, and direct rendering is a go. Thanks again for the help.

I had a bit of a laugh at the thread title.
I hate ATI (solved)
haha

(I guess that one crossed my mind too. Like: ATI saw the thread, traced the IP, drove by & performed some major "emergency" brain surgery. "Thank you, now I don't hate ATI any more! [solved]")

I've not upgraded to 2.6.30 yet, specifically because I was afraid I would lose hardware accelerated 3D for a while. As I understand from this thread, it does work now?

lol. I still hate them, I don't understand why their drivers are always a problem, even on windows they are an extreme annoyance. Next time I'll just get integrated or Nvidia.

I'm currently using 2.6.29. So I don't know if it works on 2.6.30 or not. Sorry.

It works with kernel2.6.30 with my repo http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … 99#p571399 Only x86_64, sorry.
But I have the PKGBUILDS, http://dev.archlinux.org/~eduardo/pkgs/

how do i remove the installed kernel and install the patched kernel?
