As noted previously, the few messages you posted before showed the
problem to be one of X11, and possibly LINUX kernel, support for your
graphics card, rather than of Incognito. So, please, let's take this
off the list to private email.
If your ATi card is only a year old and is not of an old model
(e.g., Radeon 9200), then the support you'll get with the native drivers
is quite limited, but is available and does work. The recent R500-
series-based cards are, AFAIK, only supported as VESA devices. The
R500-series core is apparently unrelated to the earlier, R100-R40 series
of cores, and thus the open source community has not yet devised an
appropriate driver. Thanks to ATi's intransigence in refusing to
provide information to the open source developers, we still don't have
open-source support for hardware 3-D acceleration for chips that are
now over three years old, much less for the newer hardware.

You haven't yet posted the configuration file or any of the other
stuff we would need to know whether you even have the fglrx driver
installed, much less are using it. You may be using it with just the
VESA support.
Here's the list of cards that the native radeon driver recognizes
as of X.org 6.9, though the more recent ones do not have support for
3-D hardware acceleration. I haven't messed with 7.x yet, but am told
that no new Radeon support was added during the X.org reorganization
that occurred with 7.x.

Okay, but please just send them to me, and don't bother the or-talk
list with this stuff.
I'm not a LINUX user and don't have a LINUX system handy, so we'll
have to work together on this. First, try looking for the X configuration
file. Look in /usr and /usr/local for a directory called something like
X11R6 or X11R7. On my FreeBSD system with X.org 6.9, the configuration
file is in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf. (If you're running XFree86
instead of X.org, you'll have to hunt around a bit, but XFree86 is probably
a directory name somewhere in the path you're looking for.)
The error messages you posted earlier should also have been written
to a log file. Near the start of the messages on your screen should be a
pair of lines like
(==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Mon Sep 17 12:30:33 2007
(==) Using config file: "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xorg.conf"
which give you the paths of the two files we're looking for here.
Depending upon how your LINUX system handles console messages vs. graphics
stuff, you may be able (when X is not running) to do something like pressing
the "Fn" and "Scroll Lock" keys together and then using the "Page Up" key to
page back to where the startup messages appeared. When you find the log
file, please send me its contents, beginning with the most recent startup of
X in the log file. Also include the configuration file.
If your system has the dmesg(1) command, please also send that, starting
with the last boot.
My apologies to or-talk readers that we are *still* having this
off-topic discussion here.
