FYI: The open-source driver for your card already supports DRI.

Go to
http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html select linux x86 or x86-64
and click on "go" button near lower right corner.
There you can download the driver, yes. But
- you need to compile a kernel module
- it does not compile with the current fedora update kernel
- it installs files in the system that are not managed by rpm (earlier
or later that can lead to problems?)
- it conflicts with a RPM from Core
- it puts evil things like
if [ $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ]
then
if ! set | grep LD_LIBRARY_PATH |
grep /usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules > /dev/null
then
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi
else
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/modules
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi
into you /etc/profile and will never remove them (AFAIK).
All things that don't happen with the package from livna ;-)
