Depend on how "new" your card is. :)
The CentOS 6.4 release notes also has this description in the 'Known
Issues' section:
"The proprietary drivers for older AMD ( former ATI ) video cards,
namely the 3xxx, 4xxx and 5xxx series ( both integrated in
motherboards or standalone cards) are not compatible with the new
version of the X server introduced in CentOS 6.4. "
More details are in this ELRepo bug report:
