Bug Description

I installed fglrx the other day just to see how it works now...

Installation was smooth but I got following massage after I run: "aticonfig --initial -f"

PowerXpress: '/usr/lib64/fglrx/switchlibGL' must not be writable by group or others

A xorg.conf was build, but the Xserver didn't start and I stuck with a black screen.

I also attached the Xorg.log

Thanks!

Sorry to bump this if this but this is the only place I found this error. I had the same error on Natty (when trying to install packages from AMD site directly) and I haven't been able to figure out how to resolve it. Is there any way I can try to apply the fix from this bug to my installer and get it to work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Should I just file another bug report?
