Installation Option #3 via ATI Installer
You can get the latest ATI-Driver here:

|ATI Linux Driver

The above bugzilla contains a patch to the firegl module source code. Here is an annotated walk-through for those not familiar with using the patch utility: sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ cp firegl_public.c firegl_public.c.orig wget -qO- http://ati.cchtml.com/attachment.cgi?id=466 > firegl.patch patch -p0 < firegl.patch ./make.sh cd .. ; ./make_install.sh aticonfig --initial
 * Install the driver interactively
 * Backup the existing module, download the patch
 * Apply the patch
 * Now build and install the kernel module
 * Create an initial X Server configuration file
 * Restart your X Server (by logging out/in or rebooting)

Issues

 * AMD/ATI Catalist Control Center (amdcccle) fails to start, see this bugzilla entry.

FYI: this patch (and others like it) is incomplete. It fails miserably with the drm module loaded. It will not work without drm either, and what would be the point? As seen by dmesg:

[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 1898 MBytes. [fglrx] ASYNCIO init succeed! [fglrx:KCL_enable_pat] *ERROR* Pat entry 2 is already configured [fglrx] PAT is disabled! [fglrx:firegl_init_module] *ERROR* firegl_stub_register failed

The livna rpm incurs the same failure. Stick with F7 and kernel 2.6.22, or use the radeon driver instead.

Updated by yangyud: You need to remove the loaded "drm" module from kernel before install the fglrx module. rmmod radeon; rmmod drm
