<div>==General Status==<br />
* Uses kernel 2.6<br />
* Uses Xorg 7<br />
* Use of the ATI driver requires patching and a downgrade of the X server<br />
<br />
==Installation Option #1 Downgrade X and use the Livna repository==<br />
See the [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503 Fedora 9 FGLRX HOWTO]<br />
<br />
==Installation Option #2 Local RPM Build==<br />
Releases through Catalyst 8.9 do not work on Fedora 9 without extensive patching/downgrading.<br />
See the [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=192261 Catalyst 8.4 - 8.9 failures]<br />
<br />
==Issues==<br />
Current driver releases do not build on Fedora 9 without patching, and the resulting RPM packages crash the X server. Downgrading X and installing a older ATI driver release is an option.<br />
<br />
9/29/2008 : Rumor has it that a upcoming Fedora 9/Mesa 7.2 update will fix the ATI Catalyst issues. It is due out in a matter of weeks.<br />
