ATI Radeon and FC4

[akarl]

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
