Hello Heitor,

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.

Ok then... I tried all that you said, but with no changes, I got the
same error.
1) At "/etc/yum.repos.d/ I found these files:
adobe-linux-i386.repo
atrpms.repo
fedora-development.repo
fedora-install-media.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
freshrpms.repo
jpackage.repo
kde-redhat.repo
livna-devel.repo
livna.repo
livna-testing.repo
planetccrma.repo
rpmforge.repo
I've removed these:
fedora-updates.repo|atrpms.repo|jpackage.repo|livna-devel.repo|livna-testing.repo|planetccrma.repo|rpmforge.repo
2) Futhermore I checked the "rpm -qa|grep -i ati" and found nothing,
only these packages were present:
startup-notification-devel
konversation
tomcat-native
krb5-workstation
startup-notification
lohit-fonts-gujarati
gutenprint-foomatic
liberation-fonts
foomatic
That's all I have.
I tried "yum install kmod-fglrx" once more and got the same message.
Have any ideas?
Ivan.
