Has anyone been able to get latest catalyst drivers (10.3 or 10.5) working on kernel 2.6.34?
If so, how? 
Thanks
This is what i get when beggining the installation:
dhcppc1:/home/gabriel/Descargas/catalysts # sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-5-x86.x86_64.run
Created directory fglrx-install.6dQ7Ew
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

I don’t think any of the Catalyst drivers work with a 2.6.33 or newer kernel. I note many Fedora13 users are not happy with Catalyst not working with the 2.6.33 kernel in Fedora 13.
Oh, that are bad news 
Fedora users (includes Fedora 12 and Fedora 13) are happy that our main sponsor, Red Hat Inc. has provided a powerful open driver for ATI, which is no longer in experimental phase. In fact, comparing the results on proprietary ATI drivers in openSUSE 11.2 and Fedora 12 with experimental drivers and new Mesa 7.8.1, there isn’t much difference, unless you run non-native applications through wine 
Fedora users with ATI have learned a long time ago that ATI doesn’t provide a decent driver for any platform and they don’t keep up the pace of X.org and Kernel development.
ATI is the worst choice for any Linux user! Going Intel after! At least everything works… from the OSX86 Hackintosh, to windows and Linux!
Good info, but it doesn’t really help the kagillions of people who own a laptop or pc with an ATI chipset or card.
Mine worked fine from the onset, not so much in Ubuntu, and I’m glad I chose not to install Fedora.
In the future, next laptop will be intel… I like AMD, but nVidia is a better solution in my mind, than ATI is.

Some AMD laptops have nVidia chips. I’m using one now.
open radeon driver may beat Catalyst on 2D, but its no match to Catalyst on the 3D battle.
