How I got my ATI drivers installed..

The best way I know of installing the ATI drivers is to do it manually...
-Go to the directory where you downloaded the rpm file
-Open a terminal and type rpm2tgz <packagename.rpm>
-Extract the .tgz
-Move all the files to the named directory
-Run make.sh and make_install.sh
-Run fglrxconfig

Thats worked the best for me, worked every time so far. Good Luck!

Can you provide some specifics about your video card, mobo, chipset, the distro you're using, etc? That would definitely be useful info -- J.W.

This worked best for me on Fedora, RedHat, and Slackware.

My video card is an ATI Radeon 9000.
Mobo chipset it a KT400 (Forget exact brand ect.)
