Fedora 18 Installation Guide

FGLRX driver from RPM Fusion
Ok people iv manage to get work

but this is not easy so unless you know what your doing wait for the Official Release

 * first install gcc

su yum install gcc

so get it from here http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/ ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/testing/18/x86_64/kernel-devel-3.6.11-3.fc18.x86_64.rpm
 * update your system
 * in software manager enable "test update for fedora and rpm fusion"
 * then install kernel-devel to match your kernel (after system update for now you wont find kernel-devel in yum)
 * here are kernel-devel-3.6.11-3

ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/linux/updates/testing/18/i386/kernel-devel-3.6.11-3.fc18.i686.rpm

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/
 * you might run into dependency trouble along the way so if that's the case your best friend is


 * the problem will be show as

example
"glibc xx.xx.xx, require glibc-common xx.xx.xx,installed glibc-common xx.xx.xx and you wont have it in you list so go to http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/ =and find it under fedora 18 testing for i686 or x64=

JUST CLICK ON IT AND OPEN WITH ARCHIVE INSTALLER

 * once this mess is over add ==RPM FUSION REPO==

su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-branched.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-branched.noarch.rpm'


 * enable test update in software source

su yum install akmod-catalyst
 * Now ==THE DRIVER==

once it all ok re-run the previous command and if dependency check-out you will have to interact by typing Y to install
 * once again you might have to find dependency here http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/

su new-kernel-pkg --kernel-args=nomodeset --mkinitrd --dracut --update $(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)
 * If all is good you need to rebuild the kernel "much easy compare to dependency problem lol" type it in terminal and let it ryde!

aticonfig --initial -f


 * reboot

Good luck and remember,FC18 is nice but wait for the official release
