Re: X server incompatible with ATI driver...Pls help
For RH8, I had to download the synaptics mouse driver from somewhere (sorry I don't remember where, but I'm sure it's easy to find in a Google search). Then in your /etc/X11/XF86Config file you need the line
load "synaptics"
under your XF86Config "Modules" section and an "InputDevice" section that specifies the "synaptics" driver along with other configuration settings and an Identifier ("Mouse0" in my case). Finally you need an entry
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
in the "ServerLayout" section. (Mouse0 should be replaced by whatever identfier you chose above.)
A few comments about RH8 versus RH9: It is true that RH9 will be supported longer than RH9. It is also true that RH9 comes with XFree86 4.3.0+. Otherwise, I don't find anything in RH9 that supports modern notebook hardware any better than RH8. The default RH9 kernel still doesn't offer ACPI. RH9 has several bugs that are real productivity killers for me. If there were an easy way to go back to RH8 from RH9 without having to completely wipe the partitions, I would do so in a heartbeat!
