Currently im trying to get fglrx working, im now using 2.6.11-r5,
ati-drivers-8.12.10 and xorg-x11-6.8.2-r1. It seems that i have some
problems with DRM - i have set the drm support in the kernel modular,
when i will install ati-drivers, i got some trouble with drm.

My menuconf:
 <*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)  
 <*>   ATI chipset support	
 <M> Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
----
<*>   VGA 16-color graphics support
<*>   VESA VGA graphics support

Thats it.
