F19 Fix ATI Fedora Forum

1. Remove FGLRX
If you used the rpmfusion like most of you probably did you will need to remove the installed catalyst rpm's. You can query your installed catalyst rpm's by querying rpm with

# rpm -qa | grep -i catalyst

or just use my quick command
$ su -
Enter Password:
[root@localhost]# yum update && yum upgrade
[root@localhost]# yum remove xorg-x11-drv-catalyst xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-libs* akmod-catalyst* kmod-catalyst* -y

2. install/reinstall mesa lib's
[root@localhost]# yum reinstall mesa-libGL*

and also install the 32 bit mesa lib and mesa video driver while you are at it
[root@localhost]# yum install mesa-libGL.i686 mesa-dri-drivers -y
[root@localhost]# mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak

reboot

3. Get the driver from the ati/amd website
[jwele@localhost]$ cd ~
[jwele@localhost]$ wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/beta/amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.zip
[jwele@localhost]$ unzip amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.zip
[jwele@localhost]$ su -
[root@localhost]#

Now navigate to where you downloaded the file. It should be your user's 'Download' directory.
[root@localhost]# chmod u+x amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.run
[root@localhost]# ./amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13-6-beta-x86.x86_64.run

follow the default instructions. Automatic not custom. When it finishes installing check the log file for errors. It should ask if you want to see the file at the end of the installation. Before you reboot you need to make sure to use aticonfig to configure xorg
[root@localhost]# aticonfig --initial

now reboot and everything should work and you may have a watermark. Google how to fix it if you encounter that.
