problem with fglrx driver
Hello,
I'm trying to install fglrx driver on my f7 with ATI 9800pro graphics card. I followed all the steps to install the driver from livna and when I do fglrxinfo and glxinfo, I get the following messages:
Code:

display: :0.0 screen: 0

I don't know why it is not using the new fglrx driver.

Hi Leigh,
I believe there is a slight problem with the instructions for installation of the driver for F7. You have included the instruction to reboot the computer only if one installs using the freshrpms repo, but I installed from livna and did not do a reboot (as your instructions did not indicate so). But, now that I have rebooted, the driver is recognized and enabled:
Code:
$fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9800 PRO
OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4)
$ glxinfo
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.2
...
Please make the change on your instructions so other users may not have the problem like I did.
Thanks,
bharat211
