okay ive recently installed fc6 and attempted to install the livna ati drivers for my ati radeon xpress 200. they have worked before in fc5 but now they dont. i get a black screen when i reboot once. when i reboot twice im back to mesa. i tried using the script from this site (
http://www.phoronix.com/redblog/?p=blog&i=NTU1MA) but when i use the script it appears as if it installed the rpm's but im still using mesa. i tried to download the driver from the ati site and install it using this command:
]# sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.29.6.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
but i get this:
Creating directory fglrx-install
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
