Here's what Stanton Finley wrote:
If you are using an ATI video card or chipset type the following in the
root terminal:
yum -y --enablerepo livna install kmod-fglrx
Hit enter. Wait for the installation to complete. (If you have
an smp kernel use "yum -y --enablerepo livna install
kmod-fglrx-smp" instead.) If you get an error with this
procedure it probably means that your kernel is more recent than
the kernels for which Livna has built ATI kernel modules. If
this is the case switch to an older kernel (if you have one) on
your Fedora boot menu or wait a few days until Livna gets the
graphics acceleration module rpms built for the most recent
kernel. When you update your kernel you will have to update your
ATI driver as well. Do this with a "yum -y --enablerepo livna
update kmod-fglrx" as root after you have booted into the new
kernel. (Do not proceed until you have executed the two SELinux
commands in the paragraph at the bottom of this secton.)
* If you got a message "FATAL: Could not
rename /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5/modules.dep.temp
into /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5/modules.dep: Permission
denied" during installation type the following at the root
prompt:
mv /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5/modules.dep.temp /lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5/modules.dep
Hit enter. When you see "overwrite
`/lib/modules/2.6.16-1.2111_FC5/modules.dep'?" type "y" and hit
enter.
Ole Stanton was never wrong. :) Ric
Doesn't seem to help me:

Am I missing something obvious?
