Hi,

don't use the testing driver, use the driver released on livna, and
install an old version of this package: xorg-x11-server-Xorg

for example this xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.8.fc6.i386.rpm
you can download it from this list of mirrors
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-fc6&arch=i386

after installed this package you can use the fglrx driver on Fedora 7.

Don't use yum to remove and install this package but use this:

rpm -Uvh xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.8.fc6.i386.rpm --oldpackage

or

rpm -e --nodeps  xorg-x11-server-Xorg
rpm -i xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.1.1-47.8.fc6.i386.rpm
