I don't know about a short response to any video questions :-). If you got the
drivers via livna rpms (or built fedora rpms from the ati source), the odds
are good that the install didn't do everything it should have to really
get them installed correctly.

See http://bugzilla.livna.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269 for all the things
I had to do manually that the provided script somehow failed to do
automatically. Or for the whole story of my fight with ATI drivers
(which I finally won) see: http://home.att.net/~Tom.Horsley/easy-linux.html

Don't know if your card is supported by the open source radeon driver, but
if it is, that might be the way to go, I'm using the open source drivers
now after experimenting with both, and they work fine for me (after my
struggle :-).
