I used the most recent livna kmod-fglrx rpm (8.27.10). I didn't see the 
errors - the whole computer locked up and the monitor powered off  :-(

That's why I was trying to focus on the simpler, open source radeon 
driver. At least it doesn't lock up the computer.

I think I'll try a cheap nvidia card and see if it "just works".
