Bug 425959

Description of problem:
Cannot drive ATI FireGL V5250 video card anyhow, and the default driver "vesa"
works fine but it is slow and distorts the screen (fetched in the horizontal
direction, since it's a widescreen). 
Tried:
rpm -i http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-8.rpm
yum install kmod-fglrx

then could not start the X, with error message: cannot find screen 0.

Then tried to install the update from Package Manager:
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.42.3-7.lvn8.1.i386

and failed with an error message several pages long, just paste a head in the below:
package kernel-2.6.23.8-63.fc8.i586 is already installed
file /boot/System.map-2.6.23.8-63.fc8 from install of

Additional info:
I'm a novice for Linux and just switched from M$ Windows a couple weeks agoThis
is my first time using linux, but I've got a lot installing experience of Linux
(especially Fedora 8), as I've installed it 10 times on my laptop in the last a
couple of weeks. Any comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
