General Status
- Uses kernel 2.6.25
- Uses Xorg 7.1
- Use of the ATI driver requires patching and a downgrade of the X server
Installation Option #1 Downgrade X and use the Livna repository
See the Fedora 9 FGLRX HOWTO
Installation Option #2 Local RPM Build
Releases through Catalyst 8.7 do not work on Fedora 9 without extensive patching/downgrading. See the Catalyst 8.4 - 8.7 failures
Issues
Current driver releases do not build on Fedora 9. Downgrading X and installing a older ATI driver release is an option.
