I do not know why?
when I istall the newly fglrx for my ATI Radeon X1300 Series, it works, but after I use ATI-fglrx Display Setting to modify the configuration of the driver, when I restart my computer, After load the components of the computer, before enter the screen to input user and password to enter my system, the screen was black, I can't get message any more, I use Ctrl+alt+F1, it didn't change to the console screen.
I open the log file Xorg.o.log, I can see that system detected my ATI Radeon X1300 Series, it says:
II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(II) ATI Proprietary Linux Driver Version Identifier:8.24.8

Maybe you're having trouble with agpgart, which is compiled into the kernel but not-so-compatibile with fglrx? I don't know how to disable agpgart if it's compiled into the kernel, otherwise you'd have to compile your kernel without AGP Support.

Good luck,

David

Looks like you haven't disabled agpgart with

Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

My Radeon X1300 Series is working now, I did as http://www.fedorafaq.org/#radeon told me.
# Fix SELinux so that the driver will work:

setsebool -P allow_execmod=1
# Shut down X:

init 3
# Log in as root.
# Enable the driver:

ati-fglrx-config-display enable
# Restart X:

David Becker, thank you very much! ^_^
