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?

Hi All,
I downloaded and installed the latest fglrx driver released yesterday
[fglrx_6_8_0-8.24.8-1.i386.rpm]. It looks like the installer put all
the files in locations that are out of the new normal paths for where
files are supposed to go. Has anyone gotten this new driver to work
yet? I know there is a different driver [livna] that is available, I
prefer the ATi driver.
Thanx!

I can tell you that yum or kyum will install the ati drivers from
livna
and they work perfectly, at least on the test system I was working
with,
which was a brand new assembly right out of the boxes.
I was using kernel 2.6.16_1.2080 so I installed
kmod-fglrx-8.23.7-4.2.6.16_1.2080_FC5.i686.rpm
With yum.
You really should be using the livna drivers anyhow, IF you are
going to
be using one of the default kernels and not a custom kernel. They are
already tested and generally known to work. For other reasons why I
encourage you to read
