==General Status==
These topics are so confusing but this heelpd me get the job done.
* Uses kernel 2.6

* weak perfomance wrost then radeon/radeonhd drivers
 
==Installation Option #1 Downgrade X and use the Livna repository==
See the [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503 Fedora 9 FGLRX HOWTO]
 
==Installation Option #2 Local RPM Build==
Releases through Catalyst 8.9 do not work on Fedora 9 without extensive patching/downgrading.
See the [http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=192261 Catalyst 8.4 - 8.9 failures]
 
==Issues==
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. 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.
