Current ATI drivers are not compatible with any xorg server version
greater than 1.4.2. There will not be xorg server 1.5 compatibility
until next month at the latest.
There is a new ATI driver release as of yesterday (9-17-08) which
includes a slew of bugfixes, including screen tearing during xvid play,
but it still isnt' capable of working with xorg server 1.5.
ATI users are best advised to use Fedora 8 at this time, which is a more
stable platform anyway.
I think you're talking about the proprietary ATI driver - fglrx - which
is not what's being discussed here.
