Hi,
I just installed and fully updated Centos 5.2 on my laptop. Unfortunately, this one need at least the version 6.8.0 of the xorg-x11-drv-ati (available in Fedora 9), and this driver need xorg-x11-server-Xorg >= 1.4.99.1 :-(
I reported a bug for people who want to check xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log http://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=3309
Are you sure about that? Most video cards have a VGA compatible mode? Have you tried that? About the only loss is some of the higher resolutions and maybe some performance. The current X11 might be OK if you can use and live with the VGA compatible mode.
I tried to use the vga driver but the only mode that succeded to run is 320x200.... I can accept low resolution but not a such one ;-)
In the Xorg.0.log, I get many lines as: (II) VGA(0): Not using default mode "800x600" (insufficient memory for mode) (II) VGA(0): Not using default mode "400x300" (insufficient memory for mode)
for a lot of modes, and finally: (II) VGA(0): Not using default mode "1280x800" (insufficient memory for mode) (WW) VGA(0): Mode pool is empty (==) VGA(0): Virtual size is 320x200 (pitch 320) (**) VGA(0): Built-in mode "Generic 320x200 default mode": 12.6 MHz (scaled from 25.2 MHz), 31.5 kHz, 70.2 Hz (VScan) (II) VGA(0): Modeline "Generic 320x200 default mode" 12.59 320 336 384 400 200 206 207 224 vscan 2 -hsync +vsync
