In my continuing battle with the bug described in: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8790 I just tried installing the livna fglrx ati driver on my FC6 i686 boot partition.
I eventually got it to mostly work, but I had to manually do things the ati-fglrx-config-display script is supposed to do for me (like add the /etc/ld.so.conf.d/ati-fglrx.conf file to get ATIs version of the mesa libs at the front of the list).
I still don't get glx for the silly "desktop effects", instead I see things like this in the log file:
(EE) AIGLX error: dlsym for __driCreateNewScreen_20050727 failed (/usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so: undefined symbol: __driCreateNewScreen_20050727) (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
Are these known problems with the livna versions of FC6 fglrx?
I guess maybe it is time to try the x86_64 fglrx again (the last time I tried, it hard hung the system when the server exited).

So are you able to run glxgears or glxinfo? What do you get when you run 'ldd /usr/bin/glxinfo' ?

A long story :-). I'm back on the radeon driver now because of more problems with fglrx than radeon, and an eventual work around for radeon: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/easy-linux.html
It really was using the "right" libs when I had fglrx though, the key was the missing ldconfig files that the config script failed to install.

Hi Tom. Accoring to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RenderingProject/aiglx#head-770b2cb0c399c6f67f..., AIGLX won't work with ATI cards running the propriety driver, which my guess, is what Livna repo has.
