Yeah there is something that needs to be installed -- but I can't
remember what it was. Yum will install it if you use the ati-fglrx
packages from livna; to use those on a clean up2date system just do

# rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm
# yum install kernel-module-fglrx-$(uname -r)

You can also download the rpm from livna and and try to install it on a
clean system directly with rpm -- it will tell you what deps are missing
and probably are needed by the package from ati, too.
