Dependencies for fglrx drivers

[Julius Smith]

In case it's relevant, I got a Radeon HD 4850 working on F10 x86_64 by
FIRST booting into single-user mode and then exiting to runlevel 5.  I
don't have to do this two-stage boot using the vesa driver, but I do
with the fglrx driver.  My display is 1920x1200 60Hz (flat panel LCD)
