new ati driver 8.29.6 crashes with "PreInitDAL failed"

hi, i am using a hp notebook nc8430 which has an ati mobility radeon x1600 built in. the ati-driver 8.28.8 works. (not as fast as expected for this card, but it works....) but the new driver 8.29.6 doesn't work. x stops with the error "PreInitDAL failed". attached is the compressed Xorg.0.log file, where the error can be seen at the bottom. does anybody know about that error? what can i do? -- einen schönen Tag noch DI Rainer Klier Abteilung IT - Entwicklung ECOLOG Logistiksysteme GmbH Bauernstraße 11, A-4600 Wels Tel. ++43/7242/66200 Fax ++43/7242/66200-200 mailto:kra@ecolog.at http://www.ecolog.at
