OK. I have used ati-driver-installer-8.29.6.
I still have a couple of errors showing up (in /var/log/Xorg.0.log).

[Of note, I did not have to do the moving/linking reported by kiram9. Also, I tried to
build the rpms again without the /usr/src/kernel link. I found the code in the build script (common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh) which looks in /lib/2.*/build.]

Now, the first is that my board seems to have two chips. (It has connectors for two
monitors.) Only one is recognized (late in the process). The two chips are 7187 and 71a7.
Code:
(--) PCI:*(3:0:0) ATI Technologies Inc unknown chipset (0x7187) ... (Xorg.0.log 
line 139)
(--) PCI: (3:0:1) ATI Technologies Inc unknown chipset (0x71a7) ... (line 140)
...
 (II) ATI Radeon/FireGL: The following chipsets are supported:
  ...
        RADEON X1300 (RV516 7187), MOBILITY RADEON X1350 (M62P 718B)  ... (line 
403)

(--) Chipset RADEON X1300 (RV516 7187) found (Xorg.0.log line 430)

The other issue is that _driCreateNewScreen_20050727 is not found. I found this symbol
in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/libglx.so. I do have "Load "glx"" in my xorg.conf file.
Any clues?

Code:
(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/f
glrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727) 
(EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering

Your first problem is not a problem, this is only a message informing you that a monitor couldn't be detected on the second video port.

Your second problem, is there because the fglrx doesn't support composite therefore AIGLX can't work. The solution is to add the following line in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Code:
Section "ServerFlags"
	Option "AIGLX" "off"
EndSection
Now, if you want to have the video effects, you'll need to configure xgl.

I'm not sure if both will work, but I've testing
Code:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "False"
EndSection
To work and re-enable my DRI.

I'm pretty sure any recent ones (I'm not sure where the line is drawn, I think it's the X[whatever] series) don't work with the current 'radeon' driver in Fedora, but they will work if you use fglrx because they have their own DRI drivers.
However, you need to add that Option "Composite" "False" to your xorg.conf as the mainpage shows at the bottom or else fglrx will disable it's built-in DRI.

I've done all this and my board still doesn't work. glxgears and fgl_glxgears will

Never seen/used that before, that could be the issue.
BTW - Option "Composite" "False" not "Disable"

I removed the options (added them in as trial).

Good catch on the "composite" flag. (The xorg.conf man page says
viable options are "0", "off", "false", or "no".)

I retried. No changes. The "gears" programs run but nothing gets
displayed.

leigh, the vertrefresh number was stuffed in by aticonfig, if I remember right.
The display looks great under normal operation. Here is info from xvidtune:
1920x1200
HSyncStart: 1968, HSyncEnd: 2000, HTotal: 2080
VSyncStart: 1203, VSyncEnd: 1209, VTotal: 1235
Pixel clock: 154.00
Hsync: 74.4kHz
VSync: 59.95 Hz

Monitor: vendor (Dell 2407WFP reports max sync rate of 76Hz x 81kHz).
(I may boot WinXP today to see what XP is using.)

As far as fontpath. I just started from the default xorg.conf. Here is what Xorg.0.log says:
Code:
(WW) No FontPath specified.  Using compiled-in default.
(==) FontPath set to:
        unix/:7100,
        built-in

Add the following in your xorg.conf file and you'll get rid of the FontPath warning:

Code:
Section "Files"
	FontPath     "unix/:7100"
EndSection
