Installing ATI drivers on Fedora 18

I followed mostly what was in this link, but when installing the driver I just did yum install akmod-catalyst as it pulls in required dependencies.

I managed to get a black screen by just installing the akmod-catalyst without some of those instructions, so it was either the first instruction or last that fixed my black screen problem after booting. reinstalling mesa-libGL or the dracut of a new image after making sure the Radeon drivers were uninstalled.

Only problem I have is a nice watermark at the bottom right of my screen. Its not so bad for now, but would be nice to get rid of :-)

There are some fixes out there on how to remove it, but I am sure the new builds releases will come soon. :-)
