Ok... this was a scary article... It does lead to another question though. I do have the drivers from the vendor installed. Do I need to uninstall them before I install the livna version? If so, how?
The advice from the article is: .".. completely remove the 3rd party drivers from your system, and then perform a full "yum update" to ensure you have the latest Fedora Core supplied X packages installed. After doing this, do an "rpm -Va" of your whole system, in particular the xorg-x11-*, mesa-* and lib* packages. If there are any discrepancies found in any of the Fedora supplied packages, in particular in libGL, or the X server packages, remove them and reinstall them and reverify that the files installed on your system are the ones shipped by Fedora." You should then be OK to install the livna package. Paul.
