As far as I'm aware, catalyst drivers are not being distributed by
RPMFusion anymore.  There is no maintainer at the moment.  Either you
have to step-up and package them for RPMFusion, or install the AMD
provided drivers.

And the newest beta drivers will not work with kernel 3.14+ as I am
writing on such a system and cannot get the drivers to install on the
latest 3.14 kernel. 3.13 is fine however but getting the header files
etc installed is troublesome.
