If you check the fedora-test-list , you'll see that me (and other ATI 
card owners) are having all kinds of problems to make this driver work 
on FC2t1...  The driver just works with a vanilla kernel, which is 
something that some of us dont want (I want to be able to upgrade my 
whole system , including kernel , using yum and apt.. so no vanilla for 
me... )
