Ok, Can you stop repeatedly posting this guide as I'm getting sick of clearing your posts from the moderation queue.

The auto-moderation should cease when your post count = 6

The 10.11 and 10.12 ati installer works fine on F14 without any of these steps, Just run the installer choose automatic when it's done type aticonfig --initial then reboot.

Could any confirm whether FC14 64-bit or the latest ATI Catalyst driver has any issues while installing/configuring this card:

Sapphire Toxic ATI 5850 - 2GB - DDR5

Thank you.

Thank you.

I can confirm this problem. After installing Fedora Core 14 64bit and updating, I immediately installed the ati package. This created an endless loop on boot of black screen attempting to load something after the POST. It seems if you install the ati package before the kernel-devel and gcc packages (after updating) this problem occurs and is fixable by reinstalling (for me since I have no data to lose) or booting into a recovery terminal and removing/installing in the aforementioned order. Hope this helps.

do not need so many steps.

yum install dkms ("Dynamic Kernel Module Support Framework")

download de binary from ati. e.g: sh ati-driver-installer-11-3-x86.x86_64.run

some problem in leigth drivers : double image windows, some small issues in the firefox i dont konw why.

some problems with 32 bit library. with wine . s bit slow , maybe something in the compile options.

for now I prefer ati drivers

I can confirm, the latest ATI Linux driver that AMD just put out a few days ago works flawlessly with my 5000 series ATI graphics card and FC14. Smooth install too.

do you need to disable compiz 3d effects? I'm currently running the OSS radeon drive with Compiz and Emerald Themes.

Well I got CCC installed without much issue, so thanks a lot for the guide/

However I am now faced with different issues.

I have an HD5770 with 2 19" monitors hooked up via VGA, and one 47" hooked to my mobo (HD3300) via HDMI. Initially upon install I had the 2 monitors working fine, after installing this driver though I only have the onboard graphics card. I've looked in CCC and it shows my 5770 as an "unknown adapter"

Does anyone have any suggestions?
