After failing to get the fglrx driver to work on my system, I thought I
would try the amd proprietary driver. I downloaded
fglrx64_p_i_c-15.302-1.x86_64_rhel6_64a.rpm from the website,
ininstalled fglrx-x11-drv and kmod-fglrx, and ran yum localinstall on
the downloaded rpm. The machine (SL 6.7, running at level 3, i.e., X
not running) crashed with a kernel panic. After rebooting I did have a
working X installation, no trail of ghosts behind moved windows, but
without glx. The log file says
(EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0).
Ati and radeon modules have been loaded.
I'll file a bug with amd, but I don't think they pay a lot of attention
to the bugzilla.
