The seperate smp kernels no longer exist. You just need kmod-fglrx. $ yum list \*fglrx\* Available Packages kmod-fglrx.i686 8.33.6-1.2.6.19_1.2895 livna kmod-fglrx.i586 8.33.6-1.2.6.19_1.2895 livna kmod-fglrx-PAE.i686 8.33.6-1.2.6.19_1.2895 livna kmod-fglrx-kdump.i686 8.33.6-1.2.6.19_1.2895 livna xorg-x11-drv-fglrx.i386 8.33.6-1.lvn6 livna xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-devel.i386 8.33.6-1.lvn6 livna -- Mark Knoop
