I can tell you that yum or kyum will install the ati drivers from livna
and they work perfectly, at least on the test system I was working with,
which was a brand new assembly right out of the boxes.
I was using kernel 2.6.16_1.2080 so I installed
kmod-fglrx-8.23.7-4.2.6.16_1.2080_FC5.i686.rpm
With yum.
You really should be using the livna drivers anyhow, IF you are going to
be using one of the default kernels and not a custom kernel. They are
already tested and generally known to work. For other reasons why I
encourage you to read

Missiles of ligneous or osteal consistency have the
potential of fracturing osseous structure, but
appellations will eternally remain innocuous.
