So I do I take it there is no way around this at this point in time?

It's either 6.8 or no ati driver?

I also have ati_driver installed and have tried both the one currently in z-rejected (8.27.10)
and the latest from Ati web site (8.28.8)

Unfortunately my X server never starts and the log file tells me I ma using the wrong version
of xorg:

Xorg.0.log (snippet)

(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o

(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fglrx_drv.o

Can someone tell me why it thinks I am on version 7.0.0 and how do I either correct this or
get an Ati version that will work?

Craig
Did you ever install xorg-modular? My guess is that the compilation of
ati_driver is finding xorg-modular (7.0) files and building for that.

Isn't 6.9 the same as 7.0 but non-modular?

Yes. :-)
