xorg-x11-drv-fglrx is provided by livna and works together with kmod-fglrx (livna too). I'm using this driver without any problem. Let's try this: 1) Look at /etc/yum.repo.d/ to see your active repositories; 2) You won't have any conflict using only base, updates, adobe, google and livna; (enough for 95% of Fedora users) 3) Use "rpm -qa|grep -i ati" to list all packages with "ati" tag and remove anything that looks like a ATI driver; 4) Reinstall fglrx and pay attention if the packages really came from livna.
