    Hi all,

    After going through some trouble I finally managed to install the ATI
    driver from the Livna server on FC3 some months ago. I carefully
    documented the required steps to make it work. When follow the same
    procedure on FC4 it fails.

    The first thing I tried after having installed FC4 was to download and
    install the proprietary drivers from the ATI website;
    fglrx_6_8_0-8.14.13-1.i386.rpm and ati-driver-installer-8.14.13.run and
    (of course) it didn't work. Moreover the installer doesn't seem to have
    an uninstall option, so I don't know how to uninstall it. (That the
    installer puts a license agreement text file in the root directory(!)
    `/' is one more indication of ATI's ignorance.)

    I have done:

        yum install kernel-module-fglrx-$(uname -r)

    and added the the line

        Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

    to `Section "Device"' in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (my Asus motherboard with
    nForce2 chip set requires it, I've heard).

    When I boot I get an error message about fglrx.ko not being found. What
    package installs fglrx.ko and where is it supposed to be located? How do
    I proceed from here?

    Thanks in advance,
    August
