Obviously not having the source, neither fedora nor xorg are going to distribute the binary version of fglrx (ATI). FWIW, it does work much better than the xorg 'radeon' I used livna's install Craig
It appears that either the ATI installer or the livna version work for my system. Attached is the output of a failed livna binary. I had to revert to radeon again but only edited the diver and kept the generated configuration for the fglrx attempt.
