fedora 7 and sucky ATI drivers

******* Resolution issues/ATI driver issues **************

ati-fglrx driver has issues with xorg reporting version 1.6
Can't we all just get along?

1) downgrade xorg here
$ rpm -U --oldversion xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.2.0-6.fc7.i386.rpm
2) tell yum not to upgrade xorg
$ exclude=xorg-x11-server-Xorg*
3) create xorg.conf
$ aticonfig --initial
4) update /etc/X11/xorg.conf
