I followed the instructions in fedoraforum.org: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503 Here is a list of what I have done: su - 1. rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm 2. yum install akmod-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs.i386 3. mv /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img.backup 4. mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r` 5. add this "nopat" to the kernel arguments in /boot/grub/grub.conf 6. reboot Wish it will help.
