[mythtv-users] Problem using ATI Radeon 9800SE with FC5

[Andrew Casper]

I'm not completely familiar with ATI's fglrx or "smart upgrade". But  
I know that if a "smart upgrade" involves a kernel update, you might  
need to upgrade any kernel modules (kmdl). I had similar issues with  
a kernel upgrade and my Nvidia card.
