Default Couple of more ideas

Something is blocking you from making or installing the fglrx module.

Are you sure you are building as root?

Do you have /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so ?

/usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so ?

Directory permissions look OK?

Remove any old modules before adding new one?

md5 check OK on the ATI driver file?

The last few times I loaded the ATI driver in my AMD64 box, I was at runlevel 3 as root; ran the file accepting all defaults, did aticonfig --initial, then reboot. No sax2. I did copy over a somewhat abbreviated xorg.conf file that is working fine for me, But aticonfig's version should work.

FYI, the last few lines of my fglrx-install.log file are:
Code:
  LD [M]  /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.ko            
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.27.23-0.1-obj/x86_64/default'
build succeeded with return value 0  
duplicating results into driver repository...                    
done.                                                            
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
- recreating module dependency list                              
- trying a sample load of the kernel modules                     
done.
I note that my kernel is a bit newer than yours. Probably not the problem.
