Fedora Core 4 Installation Guide

There are two ways of installing the fglrx driver on Fedora Core. Packages provided by ATI or livna.org are available for installation. The difference of methods allows users to download a package that suits their style. The livna.org package is a lot easier for beginners and newbies, and provides only packages when they are working without problems. The configuration is done automatically with livna.org packages, too.


 * Note: You must have your "kernel-devel-[version]" RPM package installed prior to fglrx installation.
