</head><body text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the release on the amd site only supports 7.1 and older (Xorg 1.10 and older) and I am guessing they have not updated the package (Xorg is showing version 1.19). It will not install either, complains incompatible version. From what I can tell this is a error between that version of X and the driver, either X no longer supports that symbol, changed its name or X is trying to use a new symbol that the driver does not have. At least that is what simular errors end up being. I guess I am stuck with a dead machine. Either I try to get amd to fix it or buy a different card (this one is on the motherboard) . I wonder what card is well supported and can be used for gaming. Thanks again, if I figure anything out I'll let you know. - Jeremy<br>

downloaded it and it sort of installed. Dracut failed, said it
could not install fglrx driver. I ran dracut manually and it did
not complain. But I have the same error in Xorg.0.conf where fglrx
fails to inialize. ☹️<br />

you did not pray before installing, did you ? :)<br />
<br />
I am afraid I do not know how to solve that for the moment, assuming
it is solvable<br />
the only thing I can suggest is to try to install the driver
downloaded directly from ATI (
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=RHEL%20x86%2064">https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=RHEL%20x86%2064</a> )
in order to verify that their driver is still compatible with the
current RHEL minor release. If you can install it then I will
definitely do my best to adapt the ElRepo packages<br />

I hope that there are no incompatible changes inside Xorg...<br />
