    KWin crash after ATI drivers install

    Ciao,

    I tried to install the new ATI drivers (ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run ) on my F9. I have a Radeon X1300 video card and X.Org X Server 1.5.2.

    At first, I tried to produce the packages for F9, supposedly supported by this ATI release:

    sh ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/F9

    but got an error:

    RPM build errors:
    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
    /usr/X11R6/lib/libAMDXvBA.cap
    /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.so
    /usr/bin/amdupdaterandrconfig
    /usr/bin/amdxdg-su

    So, I installed them with the graphical interface and the generic installation.
    After the installation I run:

    aticonfig --initial

    and rebooted the system.
    After the boot, the X server did not start.
    So I replaced the new xorg.conf with the old, working one.
    Now the X server works, but Kwin crashes on logon (error 6). Any clues?
    This is the (abridged) debug of the crash:

    Application: KWin (kwin), signal SIGABRT
    (no debugging symbols found)
    .....
    [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]
    [New Thread 0xb80b19b0 (LWP 6326)]

    Thank you,

    Stefano

    P.S. After a new instance of aticonfig --initial, the problem was solved and, apparently, the drivers are working ok.
