I had mandrake up and running, games like tuxracer work perfectly but when I installed UT2004demo all the textures were garbled and was unplayable (although menu system worked) So I decided to try installing the rpm off ati.com. It installed fine with --force option, but it said to run the fglrxconfig file, well I don't know how much they assume I know about their card, but it wasn't that much. For the most part I used default options for that which I didn't understand, now I see nothing on my screen. fglrxinfo shows, unable to open display :0

 

Anyone else come across problems with UT or the radeon drivers, got a fix?

 

:help:

for me the error message was because the ATI driver was not loading. Try modprobe fglrx and then start x again. If that works add the entry to your modules.preload file in /etc.

Unfortunately X doesn't start anymore, says cannot find screen. I suspect I did something wrong with the glfxrconfig (spelling) utility that ati's walkthrough said to run after installing the rpm. I'm probably just going to reinstall MDK as I need my computer up and working, I don't have time to mess around with it. Next time should I just not run the utility, ie just install the rpm and restart?
