Hello


Thank you for the confirmation

I assume that a good route would be to make use of the ModulePath 
argument inside xorg.conf and alter the order in which the paths are 
parsed. I assume that now /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx is 
taken into account after  /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/ and 
therefore X loads first the incorrect library.
If you can, please try to add the following section to your xorg.conf, 
restore the original /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so and 
see what happens when you restart X:

Section "Files"
         ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx"
         ModulePath   "/usr/lib64/xorg/modules"
EndSection

You might need to revert the order of the two lines, I have no idea 
which one takes precedence, first occurence or last one ( but the above 
order works for the NVidia driver )


If you cannot test.. we'll need to wait until I manage to find myself a 
system to use for testing purposes.

Thank you
