Description of problem: I have AMD Radeon 8xxx series video card and XFdrake suggests to install proprietary video driver. But installed XServer 1.16.1 is not compatible with the available in repository fglrx version 14.410. Even recently released version 14.9 supports XServer up to 1.15. Until compatible version become available in repository, there is no reason to suggest to install this driver. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Created attachment 5454 [details] Output of lspcidrake -v

That is true now, but at one time during alpha2, fglrx was working until a new kernel was released. I wish I had save the details of Xserver/kernel. bug report 14178 has a few more attached files.

It wasn't the new kernel, it was the new fglrx... I misread that the new fglrx would support x11-server 1.16, but it's only the "ubuntu prerelease" driver that does. Remove all installed fglrx drivers, update your medias and make sure you get the 14.201 drivers installed and it should work. Sorry about the breakage :/

Removed fglrx* packages, ran graphical server setup which indicated failed to install. Added fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest and fglrx-control-center rpm, dracut -f, reboot and it is working on AMD Radeon R7 200 Series and âCedar [Radeon HD 5450 Series] pci video cards.
This is still not fixed. XFdrake still suggests to install not compatible fglrx driver. Why not to fix it? My system can't boot with this driver, it just going to reboot at some point.
Severity: normal => major

We have a working driver, something is messed up in your system... whats the output of rpm -qa |grep fglrx
I see no support for X server 1.16: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDCatalyst14-9LINReleaseNotes.aspx Output: x11-driver-video-fglrx-14.201-2.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-3.17.1-desktop-2.mga5-14.201-17.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-3.17.1-desktop-1.mga5-14.201-16.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-3.17.2-desktop-1.mga5-14.201-19.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-3.17.0-desktop-4.mga5-14.201-13.mga5.nonfree fglrx-control-center-14.201-2.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-14.201-19.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-3.17.0-desktop-0.rc7.2.mga5-14.201-11.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-3.17.0-desktop-3.mga5-14.201-12.mga5.nonfree dkms-fglrx-14.201-2.mga5.nonfree
It seems that something really bad happens, like a kernel crash. I see empty logs for X and dmesg in /var/log after trying fglrx.

Whats your hw ? whats'the output of: lspcidrake -v (In reply to Nikita Krupenko from comment #8) > It seems that something really bad happens, like a kernel crash. I see empty > logs for X and dmesg in /var/log after trying fglrx. Any messages in journal logs ? Can you attach output of journalctl -b
Output in the attachment. journalctl has no record for boot with fglrx.
Is your issue with fglrx solved? If not, does it work from a Mageia 5RC KDE LiveDVD?
