There's even instructions to install it to the new kernel before you reboot. This command for instance: yum install kernel-module-fglrx-`(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)` Unforch, it seems to be looking for what would be a very old kernel version, as in 2.6.5 according to this return from the above command line: Cannot find a package matching kernel-module-fglrx-2.6.5-1.358 The kernel currently running is 2.6.10-ec2-mm3-VO-31.9, one of Ingo's realtime patches. So, I just sent rpm off to -e that kernel as I haven't ran it more than a few hours total since upgrading to FC2. Mmm, then it switches to reporting 2.6.8-1.521, which cannot be removed according to a long list of dependencies, many of which are also ancent kernel packages. Must be time to run an rpm --rebuilddb. Is there a way to force rpm to install this packages kernel modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
