M. Jones is correct, you need the Radeon proprietary driver. The good folks at Livna have made it available. Enable the Livna repository; see http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/UsingLivna. Then, to see what's available, run: yum list \*fglrx\* You need a kmod- etc package and a xorg-x11-drv-fglrx package, as appropriate for your system. Since the xorg-x11-drv-fglrx package requires the kmod package, run yum install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx and you will get both.
Thanks. I did install from linva.

I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will correct me if I am wrong. In any case, I don't have ati-fglrx-config-display on my system, and the driver works well enough for me to run Google Earth.
It wasn't. I actually had fglrx installed a month ago, but could not get it to function. Now that I've run fglrx-config-display, we'll see how goes it. Now that I've enabled fglrx, I have two new problems: 1) I cannot get my 1400x1050 screen resolution back. CTRL-ALT-+ would not switch modes (1400x1050 and 1024x768 are configured in xorg.conf) so I commented out the "1024x768" option in xorg.conf. Now, I can only get 1680x1050. 2) Google Earth won't start. It's stuck on the Splash Screen, for a few minutes now. I tried twice, got stuck both times.
