Did you try re-installing the catalyst driver?  Sometimes xorg updates overwrite things the proprietary driver install had put in place earlier.





Just grasping at straws here.

Subject: AMD Catalyst Driver Broke



The minor update to xorg-x11-server-common-1.15.0-25.1.sl6.x86_64 broke the AMD Catalyst 14.12 (14.501.1003) graphics card driver.  It boots up just fine displaying everything but at the end we get a blank screen.  

The terminal windows are not there either.  It is the latest version of the driver and I am not certain what to do.  The error message is

(EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed. Probably kernel module missing or incompatible.



I tried to downgrade X11 rpms but it says "Only Upgrade available on package".



The graphics card is XFX FX-775A-ZNP4 Radeon HD 7750 and it is in a Dell PowerEdge T110 II.  Any ideas on what I can do?  Thank you for your help.

Paul
