ATI drivers crash on Fedora 7

I know this is kinda off-topic, but since I used Matthia's package I
will give a try:

I downloaded and installed ati-x11-drv-8.36.5-2.fc7 from freshrpms, I
have an ATI video card that isn't supported by the "radeon" driver, so I
wanted to give "fglrx" a try.

After installing RPM and dependencies and trying to execute "aticonfig
--initial" I get the following error:

[root@laptophp ~]# aticonfig --initial
Uninitialised file found, configuring.

... and my /etc/X11/xorg.conf file disappears.

Editing manually previous mentioned file and changing "vesa" for "fglrx"
under "Driver" section doesn't help, X doesn't start, it logs
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log the following error:

(II) LoadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
(II) Module fglrx: vendor="FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc."
        compiled for 7.1.0, module version = 8.36.5
        Module class: X.Org Video Driver
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 1.0
[atiddxSetup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 1.3.0.0, required

(II) UnloadModule: "fglrx"
(II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//fglrx_drv.so
(EE) Failed to load module "fglrx" (module requirement mismatch, 0)

My videocard is:

[root@laptophp imoq]# lspci | grep -i vga
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56P [Radeon
Mobility X1600]
[root@laptophp imoq]# 

Any ideas / help?

On a side (and totally off-topic) note, I even tried to use livna repo
but they seemed to delete all fglrx files from there :S

Thanks in advance for any help you could give me.

Imoq.
