Thank you for the report. 
Fedora does not provide or support proprietary drivers. For users who are experiencing problems installing, configuring, or using the unsupported 3rd party proprietary "fglrx" video driver, ATI/AMD may provide technical support at: http://support.amd.com/ 

While Fedora does not support the proprietary fglrx driver, users requiring technical help may also find the various X.Org and Fedora mailing lists helpful in finding assistance: 

    X.Org mailing lists: 
    http://www.freedesktop.org/XOrg/XorgMailingLists 

    Fedora mailing lists: 
    http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate#ML 

    Setting status to "CANTFIX" (unsupported).

Thanks for Replay but I wanna ask one more thing in future Will fedora give a support or ATI give to Fedora support about "fglrx" ?

Comment 3 Elad Alfassa 2011-10-30 17:30:21 UTC
No, Fedora will never support non-free software. 

More information at:

I recommend using the free and open source ATI driver, which is default in Fedora, and works really well, with 3d acceleration out-of-the-box without any special configuration required.
