If anyone knows what it is please let me know so I can just install that program rather than the "everything" install. Yeah there is something that needs to be installed -- but I can't remember what it was. Yum will install it if you use the ati-fglrx packages from livna; to use those on a clean up2date system just do # rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release4.rpm # yum install kernel-module-fglrx-$(uname -r) You can also download the rpm from livna and and try to install it on a clean system directly with rpm -- it will tell you what deps are missing and probably are needed by the package from ati, too.
