Fedora 10 Installation Guide

From cchtml.com

There are two methods to install the fglrx driver. RPMFusion.org provides an RPM repository that fits in with yum for simple installation and updating. AMD provides a script installer that can generate Fedora RPMs or install the driver directly.

RPMFusion Repository

  • This method will give you automatic updates when they become available from AMD.
