Listmates,
After having built and installed every fglrx driver since November 2007, the install of the new 9.2 driver left me speechless. It is totally broken and causes my machine to "REBOOT" as soon as kdm/xdm is started.
I completely wiped the driver and did a complete step-by-step reinstall twice on my laptop just to confirm I wasn't messing something. Same result.
John A., Stephan B., anybody else, can you please confirm what you see with this driver so I can have that info in hand before I write another (apparently worthless) ATI Linux Driver Feedback ticket.
You can download the driver here (same driver installer for x86 & x86_64) ( A bloated 80M download now ):

The logs from dmesg & /var/log/Xorg.0.log from my failed attempt to install the driver are available in the bzip2 file (16k):

What a disappointment -- ATI. Very, very disappointing. Oh well, back to the working 8.9 driver.
If you are running Virtualbox, don't forget to either rebuild the driver with 'rcvboxdrv setup' or disable it from loading 'chkconfig vboxdrv off' (it has an annoying 5 min. timeout) after you install the 9.2 driver. Then don't forget to rebuild it, and enable it, before the final reboot with your working fglrx driver. (I've never had to do this before on a driver install???)

What video chip? Do you have more than 2 GB of Memory? I have a laptop with the 200M chip and with 3 GB of memory, the 9.2 driver crashes. Drop back to 2GB and it works. C
