Matthias, thanks much:

I switched to vc1; removed old package; installed
ati-x11-drv-debuginfo-8.30.3-1.fc6.x86_64
ati-x11-drv-devel-8.30.3-1.fc6.x86_64
ati-x11-drv-8.30.3-1.fc6.x86_64

run telinit 3; telinit 5 and it works!

but running

fglrxinfo
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
display: :0.0  screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.5.1)

and as there is no Xfree86-DRI, the following test/demo crashed:

fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  Major opcode of failed request:  128 (GLX)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 (X_GLXMakeCurrent)

Any idea how to add XFree86-DRI extension?
