	This ~~was~~ so ~~helpful~~ and ~~easy! Do~~ you have ~~any artliecs on rehab?~~		== Pre-built packages from RPMFusion ==

			'''RECOMMENDED METHOD'''

			This is easier than building the driver from AMD as you don't need to worry about passing kernel options via GRUB, configuring DKMS or rebuilding the kernel module every time you do a kernel upgrade.

			=== Clean up previous AMD-supplied driver installation ===

			If you're coming from the AMD-supplied driver to RPMFusion's driver, you'll need to reinstall this package as the AMD driver changes files it contains.

			<pre>
			su -
			yum reinstall mesa-libGL
			</pre>

			=== Setup RPMFusion ===

			There are instructions on http://www.rpmfusion.org/ but this should do it.

			<pre>
			su -
			rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
			</pre>

			=== Install AMD driver ===

			This procedure is the same for 32-bit and 64-bit, yum will automatically install the correct driver and libs for your architecture.

			<pre>
			su -
			yum install akmod-catalyst xorg-x11-drv-catalyst xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs
			</pre>

			==== Kernel Modules ====

			Note that there are individual "kmod-catalyst-" packages which supply kernel modules for specific Fedora kernel versions. If you are using these and you upgrade the kernel without upgrading the kmod package, you'll revert back to the free "radeon" graphics driver. Sometimes there is a day or so between Fedora upgrading their kernel and RPMFusion building a new kmod package.

			The "akmod-catalyst" package we install automatically builds a new kernel module at boot-time when the kernel is upgraded, so you never have to worry about this.
