Hi Sabre,
when I tried 8.41.7 I had problems with uninstalling. I cannot get
accelerated apps to run (even openoffice didn't start). It was caused
by libGL.so.X files. I had to dele them all and after that install
older fglrx drivers.
I have never seen your message, so I don't have any ideas, sorry :(.
Maybe you try to disable SBA (Sideband Addressing) in xorg.conf (it is
one parameter in device section).
Does your dmesg show something went wrong?

Hi Karel,
The message is very brief - "Bus error" and that is what I get for any KDE-based application.
Others, e.g. Gimp and Chromium, start fine even if Chromium is not accelerated.
Yes, I tried 8.41.7 but didn't get it to work. I used an Ubuntu HowTo but it didn't work in the end.

I removed kdm, installed gdm and started in Gnome. Then it worked, but still no KDE-based apps work.
I don't know how or if radeonhd could have ruined my KDE session however. A mystery.

The latest xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log can be found (for two weeks) at
http://www.pastebin.ca/719578 and http://www.pastebin.ca/719588
Thanks for any help!

Please remove this section completely. My code sees that a monitor is set up, but then sees just empty ranges, and my code then fills in those ranges with defaults, which means that you barely get 800x600 set up.

Unless EDID is missing, or you don't have a special reason for doing so, please don't provide a Monitor section at all. This was the driver will set up a Monitor for each hooked up Connector from edid and it will not depend on a globally configured monitor (which, sadly, is all that can currently be configured through xorg.conf)
This doesn't of course fix problems where the panel data is still missing... But even there, removing or at least commenting away configuration should not hurt matters.
