Ok, I compiled the fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm and it seems to give a cleanish compile but upon modprobe I get a segmentation fault I'd send you the whole error message except I can't capture it on stderr and it only appears when I'm running from a command line (ie runlevel 3). Once I do a modprobe and get my segmentation fault I can't remove the module as the kernel says it's in use. Everything I tested I've done from the command line, I'm starting to think that there is some sort of subtle incompatibility with my motherboard chipset (nforce 2) and my video card and linux. I also compiled and installed a vanilla 2.6.6 kernel with the appropriate agpgart as both in the kernel and as modules. When compiled as part of the kernel I get a "Can not load agpgart" X error message along with the fglrx error messages. Here's the rpm log for good measure, as I say it looks good but I get a segmentation fault from modprobe when I try to install it.
