Hello,
I am not sure if this is the correct email address for problems but if not
please redirect.
I am running CENTOS 5 64 bit version 2.6.18-238-5-1 which yum updated to a day
or two ago.
I have a previous version of kmod-fglrx installed and it worked great. I tried
to update to the new release and did the following steps:
1. Ran the uninstall script as detailed on the page
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-fglrx
2. Rebooted the PC as requested by the script.
3. When the PC rebooted it could not start X11 as the driver was gone so I
tried to use the default driver but that did not work either.
4. On the command line I installed kmod-fglrx which loaded both the 32 and 64
bit drivers as I have a 64 bit system.
When I rebooted the screen just goes blank after the screen wherethe linus
version. It does not show the screens where the programs are loaded etc and the
PC is just hanging there.
What can I do to get this working ? I don't seem to be able to get out of the
blank screen to a command line to run the config-display ??
Thanks
