Hello


     Sorry to break bad news early in the week but unfortunately there 
is no way to use fglrx with the new CentOS release, the drivers supplied 
by ATI are not compatible with the version of Xorg included in the 
distribution. Somewhere in the X logs there should be a line mentioning 
this.
     IF you are lucky ( i.e. depending on your chipset ) you might be 
able to use the new drivers provided by ATI . See 
https://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDGPU-PRO-Driver-for-Linux-Release-Notes.aspx 
( make sure you read their docs prior to attempting anything ).
