xgl on FC5 with ATI X700

[Gayal <gayal.rupasinghe@xxxxxxxxx>]

i was installing xgl to my laptop. it has ATI X700 VGA.
i followed the following steps which is given in this site.
http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/index.php?title=Installation_en

Install Fedora Xgl Repository:

   # rpm -Uvh 
http://fedoraxgl.tuxfamily.org/repository/fedora-xgl-repository-1.0-3.noarch.rpm

Import GPG Key

   # rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-AL-CAPCOM

Install Xgl and Compiz packages:

# yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz xorg-x11-server-Xgl

---------------------------------------------
Result of this Command: Package xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm is not signed
Installation Failed :(

May try cd /var/cache/yum/fedora-xgl/packages rpm -ivh * (actually may need to rpm -ivh one by one...)

Just to get you by change in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-xgl.repo gpgcheck=1 to gpgcheck=0

Run the yum command above again.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
so exactly the above happend. so i yumed each package seperatly with -ivh.

But while installing xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm the following occurred.

[root@localhost packages]# rpm -ivh xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
        libglitz-glx.so.1 is needed by xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386
        libglitz.so.1 is needed by 
xorg-x11-server-Xgl-1.1.99.1-3.i386

when i google theres s no such package available. Instead wut i got downloaded to my machine is 
(by running this command # yum --enablerepo=fedora-xgl install compiz xorg-x11-server-Xgl
)

glitz-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm      
glitz-glx-0.5.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm  
libsvg-0.1.4-4.fc5.i386.rpm
libsvg-cairo-0.1.6-3.fc5.i386.rpm
------------------------
Any how i managed continue with the packages which got downloaded to my machine.

now when i type 
$ gnome-xgl-info
-----------------------------------------------------------

This is wut i should get...

This command must return, it's like that:

   G ATI Technologies
   1 kmod-nvidia is installed for the kernel release 1.2111_FC5
   1 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv

Explanation the return of gnome-xgl-info:

• First line is:

   CardStatus [CardName]
   where CardStatus is: G(ood), B(ad), S(low), or U(nknown)

• Second line is:

 3DStatus [Missing or installed Packages]
 where 3DStatus is 0 or 1

• Third line is:

   XglStatus [RecommendedOptions]
   where XglStatus is 0 or 1 and RecommendedOptions is set if the hardware is detected as compatible.
----------------------------------------------------------------

But the results shows this

cat: /etc/sysconfig/xgl/status: No such file or directory
G ATI Technologies
0 kmod-fglrx is not installed for the kernel release 1.2054_FC5
0 -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer

Any idea how to proceed to the next stage from hear :(
