ATI driver installation on Asus F3s

[Ianex]

Hi!

Could you help with some advices with subj?
I am just in begining of Linuxes!
I succesfuly installed fedora8 on my Asus F3S, in dual boot way with windoze, but I am failing in ATI driver instalation - probably did some stupid mistakes.

I used descriptions from http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Fed...allation_Guide and used Livna.

Hello:
You need to disable the freshrpms repository. You should not have that repository enabled at the same time as livna, as they often produce conflicts.

try

yum --disablerepo=freshrpms install kmod-fglrx
