 Now run fglrxconfig and create a configuration file. Copy all the other stuff that redhat-xfree86-config does so much nicer, and you're away laughing. Hopefully. 
  
 fgl_glxgears doesn't run on my machine (error: Error: couldn't get fbconfig) and I've love to know why. -- CraigBox

+Last night i rebuilt my kernel and compiled the fglrx ati drivers after the reboot agp didn't work. I had to install the agp module with agp_try_unsupported= 1 before I got X to work . Once this was done fgl_glxgears worked 100% running at 650 fps . But somehow i must have screwed something up , because after another boot I also got the same error as you (Error: couldn't get fbconfig) . If you somehow figured out what causes this can you please leave a comment here so I can fix mine too. --WillemSmit

+Me again. fbconfig is the utility to configure framebuffer devices in linux. So logically I think couldn't get fbconfig means that there aren't any framebuffer devices on our systems. I know I've got framebuffer devices installed in my kernel, but I'm sure that with some tweaking there it's gonna come right. I'll test it tonight and let you know. -- WillemSmit
