Fglrx problems

Question

hi
this is my first post
I use arch about 3 weeks, and today I installed a kernel manually.
before I used the default kernel and I had install the fglrx and fglrx-utils pkg and the ati drivers work correctly.
but now i have uninstall the fglrx and fglrx-utils, i install a new kernel manually (2.6.20-beyond2 not pkgbuild) and i have installed after the ati driver with the installer.
the installer dont output me errors, but now the 3d acc dont works:
[artx@acer-laptop ~]$ fglrxinfo
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!
[artx@acer-laptop ~]$
[artx@acer-laptop ~]$ fgl_glxgears
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
Error: couldn't get an RGBA, Double-buffered visu
[root@acer-laptop artx]# lsmod | grep fglrx
fglrx                 651616  0

Well, one thing you could do is just update the beyond fglrx package manually for every update (you could find it in the arch CVS attic), and run makepkg on it - that way it could still be tracked by pacman.  The beyond kernel patchset is no longer being created, which is why -beyond drivers are no longer in the repos, so you'd have to re-build the module every time the drivers update to keep the versions in sync.
