Hi;
Quoting from mailing list entry from Livna on Mar 20:
"A note for users of ati-fglrx and nvidia-glx: The drivers currently don't work with the FC5 release kernel due to a bug in it. A updated kernel that should fix this issue should be pushed as a regular Fedora updated soon."
Is it true the fglrx driver doesn't work? Now what do I do?
I am currently downloading (very slowly) by BitTorrent the FC5 .isos.
Regards Bill
Hi, this is testing solution but work fine...!
yum --enablerepo=livna-testing --enablerepo=updates-testing install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
after install configure /etx/X11/xorg.conf and add Driver "fglrx" to load Ati Drivers!
bye luca

Yes.

Nope. This should not be needed anymore with the latest driver version (there was a bug in the older version that a lot of machines hit). The driver is activated during install.
BTW, the correct way to enable the ati drivers from livna is to run
/usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable

Are there drivers for x86_64 there? I get: Error: Missing Dependency: kmod-fglrx >= 8.23.7 is needed by package xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
when I try to install them.
I also tried to rebuild the fglrx-kmod-8.23.7-3.2.6.16_1.2069_FC5.src.rpm and the error I received was: error: Architecture is not included: x86_64
Cheers,

Nope, see this mail from earlier today on this mailinglist:

The kmod-fglrx package for x86_64 currently is missing in livna-testing because it does not compile and I haven't found a way to make it compile yet. Hints how to make it work appreciated in http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=842

Thanks for all the work,

Thorsten: I installed the new kernel in my FC5 box this evening, and then ran the command at the top of this post. Either the ATI driver is different in FC5, or, I didn't succeed in getting it running - In FC4, the driver would be loaded in the boot sequence and you would see the probe for the module - this I'm not seeing. Once up, the installed ATI configuration utility refuses to run - I get the bouncing cursor for a few moments, and then nothing. I ran /usr/sbin/ati-fglrx-config-display enable to see if that would change anything - it said it had succeeded and suggested a reboot or an X restart - I rebooted, but the behavior was the same. How do I tell if it's running?

I did what was suggested earlier on this very list: "yum --enablerepo=updates-testing --enablerepo=livna-testing install kmod-fglrx"
Works for me, though you may not be comfortable with running packages from -testing repos.
Cheers Steffen.
