Well, I haven't seen recent word on this so I thought I'd ask the public at large. Has there been any update on the fglrx driver for Fedora 9 x86-64? F9 has been out for months now, and ATI/AMD has released several versions of their driver since the F9 release date, but the fglrx driver is still missing from the Livna repository, the official driver doesn't seem to work, and I'm still getting unaccelerated video on my Radeon HD3850. Anyone have any idea when this issue might get resolved?
Thanks, Raymond

The ATI devs are saying that the current drivers will not support xserver versions greater than 1.4.2. F9 was server version 1.4.99 at last glance. So if you want max performance with the ati-amd drivers the only option is F8.
Livna's devs are being held up by ATI's devs.
Keep a watch on ati.amd.com for the next driver release. When they release it, livna will have it. The real question is wether the next ati driver version will support 1.4.99+.

I downloaded the recent version 8-8 of the fglrx driver from AMD, and it works for my radeon 4850 under F8 as long as I first boot into single-user mode, then into level 5. I cannot get it to work at all under F9, presumably for the reasons described. - jos
