Hi Heitor,
Before I make something wrong and for prevent some misunderstanding, let me just
"synchronize" with you ^_^, and
don't worry about your ENG, it's not my native too ^_^
I know you wasted too much time on me, but I would like to get some step by step
explanation, I mean exact commands etc, you'll see this when you'll read my
questions about your guide lines.
I'm appreciating you a lot for every info you gave me till now.
Anyway:
Step 1
As I said before, I have only these repos remained in
/etc/yum.repos.d/ (after I erased a couple):
adobe-linux-i386.repo
fedora.repo
livna.repo
kde-redhat.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-install-media.repo <--- not sure need to check this once more.
fedora-updates-testing.repo <---- I erased this one for sure.
Every .repo file is a text file.
If you created then, thats ok.
I took those repos from fedorafaq as you said.
I suppose you have installed them with this line [from fedorafaq]
Yes indeed. :))
Step 2
You will find 3 sections, the first section is [fedora] and is
enabled
(enabled=1).
To remove a repo, you need to set enabled=1 in every section you are disabling.
But "don't remove the files".
Mistyping? Did you mean "enabled=0"?
What do I need to do here? Just to disable all repos that have remained in
"/etc/yum.repos.d/"?
But do not erase files itself? Is so, what command I need to use? Is it "vi" or
there are some other commands for editing files at console?
Step 3
I really don't like this approach, because this repos,
sometimes,
don't work together.
To clear this, remove the package "yum-fedorafaq" installed from
http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum.
Or this file will be garbage inside you RPM database.
Does it mean to erase "yum.conf" file or those repos I mentioned above?
Step 4
The default configurations will activate only livna, fedora (aka
base)
and fedora-updates (aka updates).
Without any testing repository.
What is exact command for this?
Will it bring back all the "true" repos:
fedora-development.repo
Fedora-install-media.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
+ livna.repo?
At this point I need some more explanation (reference to recourse) on how to get repos
without using "fedorafaq" and why is it not so good and what about yum.conf
file....
Step 5
The default configurations will activate only livna, fedora (aka
base)
and fedora-updates (aka updates).
Without any testing repository.
Does it relate to "yum.conf" too?
Step 6
# rpm -qa|grep fglrx
And remove them.
Got it by 100% shall check. :)))
Step 7
Now that you removed all this strange repositories, let's repair
this
with the original ati package and X11 drivers.
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-drivers
Looks like all good at this point. But!
When I removed "xorg-x11-drv-ati" it has removed "xorg-x11-drv" too.
Why has it happen?
Step 8
You will know if a file is the original, if a command like the
following return "Vendor: Fedora Project":
# rpm -qi xorg-x11-drv-ati
You mean, that by using this command I'll see if there a true package?
Step 9
I suppose that know we have repaired every problem created by this
repos together.
And restored any original driver from your Fedora installation.
Let's install the proprietary "fglrx" from livna:
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx kmod-fglrx
See no problem at this point. understood 100%
Once again tnx a lot for your attention.
Ivan.
Let's go!
I'm not a native english speaker [=brazilian], so something can
look
strange, but i'll give my best.

the

fedora-updates.repo|atrpms.repo|jpackage.repo|livna-devel.repo|livna-testing.repo|planetccrma.repo|rpmforge.repo
Every .repo file is a text file.
If you created then, thats ok.

Let's try fedora.repo:
You will find 3 sections, the first section is [fedora] and is
enabled
(enabled=1).
To remove a repo, you need to set enabled=1 in every section you are disabling.
But "don't remove the files".
This repo files comes with Fedora:
fedora-development.repo
Fedora-install-media.repo
fedora.repo
fedora-updates.repo
fedora-updates-testing.repo
Some unofficial .rpm packages from atrpms, livna or
www.fedorafaq.org
will give you additional .repo files.
The Unofficial Fedora FAQ will give you:
/etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/atrpms.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/freshrpms.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/jpackage.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/kde-redhat.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/planetccrma.repo
/etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
I suppose you have installed them with this line [from fedorafaq]:
I really don't like this approach, because this repos,
sometimes,
don't work together.
To clear this, remove the package "yum-fedorafaq" installed
from
http://www.fedorafaq.org/f8/yum.
Or this file will be garbage inside you RPM database.
To repair livna and fedora repos [specially fedora-updates],
download
and reinstall the following packages:
The default configurations will activate only livna, fedora (aka
base)
and fedora-updates (aka updates).
Without any testing repository.
> 2) Futhermore I checked the "rpm -qa|grep -i ati" and
found nothing,

> startup-notification-devel
> konversation

> startup-notification

> foomatic
> That's all I have.
So, there is no freak unofficial ati driver.
Do the same for fglrx driver.
# rpm -qa|grep fglrx
And remove them.
Now that you removed all this strange repositories, let's repair
this
with the original ati package and X11 drivers.
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-ati xorg-x11-drivers
!!! I said to remove anything that looks like an ati driver, because
you removed the original driver, but now, repair the original driver
won't give us any problem because the packages came only from Fedora
or Livna - so we can trust.
You will know if a file is the original, if a command like the
following return "Vendor: Fedora Project":
# rpm -qi xorg-x11-drv-ati
I suppose that know we have repaired every problem created by this
repos together.
And restored any original driver from your Fedora installation.
Let's install the proprietary "fglrx" from livna:
# yum install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx kmod-fglrx
You will find additional informations about livna drivers here:
> I tried "yum install kmod-fglrx" once more and got the
same message.
I've never created a rpm package from ATI installer nether used
any
pre-compiled driver other than livna or old atrpms.
I suppose that after this lines you will have a clear installation of
Fedora original X11 drivers and livna together.
