FC5 and fglrx_6_8_0-8.24.8-1.i386.rpm

[Ubence Quevedo]

Ok, I installed the Livna driver for my X800XL, and yes, it works  
great.  However it is not the 8.24.8 driver.  I was planning on  
installing FC5 on my system that has a X1800XL in it.  The current  
8.23.07 that Livna repackages will do me no good in this respect  
because only the 8.24.8 driver has X1000 support.  Guess I'll just  
have to wait until it gets updated.

Does anyone know the average turnaround time after a newer ATi driver  
gets released and then Livna-fied?
