It is possible, I managed to get fglrx 3.14.6 to work with FC2. But it was
fiddly.

 - Get the Livna src RPM, fail to build successfully
 - Google around "fglrx 2.6.10", locate additional patches in random Web
   forums, apply them hopefully, get frustrated
 - Edit patches blindly until they applied

I think it depended on the exact FC2 kernel I was running as well.

I have the rebuilt RPMs now (ati-fglrx-3.14.6-0.lvn.2.2.i686.rpm and
kernel-module-fglrx-2.6.10-0.1.rdt.rhfc2.ccrma-3.14.6-0.lvn.2.2.i686.rpm),
but nowhere to distribute them from.  I should probably work out exactly
what changes I made to rebuild the src rpm.

Now, has anyone got ACPI suspend working with CCRMA FC2, fglrx and a Dell
8600? :)
