Run the following (you'll have to get the rpm2cpio script and install
cpio) to extract the files from the RPM and set them up in a directory
structure:
rpm2cpio fglrx.rpm | cpio -id

Now enter ./fglrx/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x and run make.
(Assuming you're using a 2.6 kernel, just the build_mod directory
otherwise I imagine).

Copy the resulting fglrx.ko to /lib/modules/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm.

Run depmod -a.

Now, everything in the ./fglrx/usr directory should be copied to the
same places in your /usr directory. (you can skip the share/src directories)

Run the fglrxconfig program to get the appropriate video driver setup in
a config file (back up your original),edit the file to suit and put it
in the right place, then boot into X.

Regards,
Jeremy.
