Have been using RPMS built with the ATI-provided tools but decided to
give yours a try.  Yum attempted to install but then complained about
conflicts with the installed packages.  Grabbed the src.rpm and added
"Obsoletes" as shown below.  This allowed the install to proceed and yum
removed the conflicting packages.  If I were a smart enough packager I
would have also taken care of the
kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-<kernel-version> RPMS as well, but they do not
seem to cause problems.  Removed them with rpm -e after a reboot:

kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.18-1.2798_1.fc6.cubbi_suspend2-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386
  kernel-module-ATI-fglrx-2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp-8.29.6-1.fc6.i386

Suspend hangs at "Doing atomic copy."  Backed up to your released
ati-x11-drv-8.29.6-3.fc6.i386 package but same problem - however suspend
has only been a sometimes-works thing on this IBM [Lenovo] T42p anyway.

Thanks for the packages.

Phil
