Hi Wil,

Can I suggest you try the ATI driver package for EL6 from elrepo.org:

http://elrepo.org
http://elrepo.org/tiki/kmod-fglrx

I believe the elrepo.org repository might already be installed under SL6.

Once you have elrepo installed, you can install the ATI drivers with:

yum --enablerepo=elrepo install kmod-fglrx

and if you need 32-bit application support on x86_64 then you should 
also install the fglrx-x11-drv-32bit package too.

*Before* you install the elrepo packaged drivers, please uninstall the 
previous ATI installer drivers:

sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh

At the moment elrepo.org only has the 10.12 drivers for SL6 but I'll do 
my best to get those updated soon.
