You aren't alone. The only way I can get OOanything to run is with sudo. Also my disk is filling with giant /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /var/log/gdm/:0.log which grow rapidly with the following:

Wild thought, have you tried to install the reference ATI driver from AMD's site? If it presents the same behavior, I think you can safely say that the problem lies within Livna's packages, otherwise you will have to issue a bug report in Livna or alternatively to AMD themselves. I highly suspect this is not the case with official AMD's releases, as I've not heard of any other ATI users complaining about this specific issue.
If ain't broken, don't fix it! :eek:
If can be improved, go for it! :cool:

I recently installed F8 and had similar problems. I can confirm that using the official AMD release continues to cause the problem. As a workaround, downgrading Xorg to the latest available version for F7 (xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-16.fc7) seems to fix the problem for me with both the livna and AMD packages (at least with AIGLX/composite turned off). I no longer have "DRI" errors filling the logs and I'm able to run apps like Google Earth successfully. Downgrading to an earlier F8 version (xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.3.0.0-33.fc8) doesn't work and continues to produce the errors.
Thank you a million leigh123@linux:
I did a cut and paste of your xorg.conf file - lo and behold, it worked great. I now have two gorgeous screens. Perfect, with no adjustment needed. Man, am I impressed - these monitors never looked so good in windoz.
Did a clean install to FC8 (upgraded FC6) in December, and until just now, it was unusable. And while FC6 had multihead, the screens had not the quality I see now in FC8. Wow, they even have independent full screen mode - which FC6 did not. My hat's off to the Livna team - great work.
Thanks again to all the Fedoraites.

You pull that out and you'll notice there aren't anymore issues, except that now you've got a cloned screen instead of dual screen.Code:BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
