Hey guys,
I'm having issues installing the kmod-fglrx driver from livna.
I've also tried the offical binary from ATI and seen similar issues.
With the livna pack the driver does not seem to function at all, it
appears to be the default fc5 driver still:

The ATI fglrx panel reports "Driver does not provide the FireGL X11
extensions! Panel components will operate only partially."
With the Official ATI driver it seems to install and the ATI Control
panel works, but direct rendering is still disabled, and thus glxgears
gives around 170 fps which gets slower over time.
I use the livna ati pack at home with no problems on my x800 but this is
driving me mad. Any ideas?
Many thanks,
-Chris
