All ATI cards use the fglrx driver... yum install kmod-fglrx # for ATI cards yum install kmod-nvidia # for nVidia cards I had to remove the packages and re-install (and restart) to get things working but they are working (livna kmod-fglrx) try logging in as root # init 3 # system-config-display --reconfig set display configuration (remember nvidia is the livna module, nv is the xorg, fglrx is livna module, radeon is xorg) Craig
