Fedora 18 Installation Guide

FGLRX driver from RPM Fusion

Ok people iv manage to get work

• first update system

 su
 yum check-update
 yum update

• reboot

• in software manager enable "fedora 18 source\source-update"
• Install require stuff to get work properly

 su
 yum install gcc kernel-devel kernel-headers wget

• Add Rpm Fusion Repo

http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-18.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-18.noarch.rpm

example

"glibc xx.xx.xx, require glibc-common xx.xx.xx,installed glibc-common xx.xx.xx and you wont have it in you list so go to http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/

and find it under fedora 18 testing for i686 or x64

JUST CLICK ON IT AND OPEN WITH ARCHIVE INSTALLER

• once this mess is over add ==RPM FUSION REPO==

 su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-branched.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-branched.noarch.rpm'

• enable test update in software source

• Now ==THE DRIVER==

 su
 yum install akmod-catalyst

• once again you might have to find dependency here http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/

once it all ok re-run the previous command and if dependency check-out you will have to interact by typing Y to install

• If all is good you need to rebuild the kernel "much easy compare to dependency problem lol" type it in terminal and let it ryde!

su

new-kernel-pkg --kernel-args=nomodeset --mkinitrd --dracut --update $(rpm -q --queryformat="%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}\n" kernel | tail -n 1)

aticonfig --initial -f

• reboot

Good luck and remember,FC18 is nice but wait for the official release
