Phil,
Thanks for the information. When I went to the AMD site and entered the
hardware type of one of our machines (Radeon X300) I was offered a package
from 2009 which did not work. However today I found a machine with some more
modern hardware, and entered that and I was offered a more recent package. This
worked on the machine with the more modern hardware, but not on the older
hardware, so it seems that one can no longer use fglrx on this older kit.
I tried using your package on elrepo but unfortunately I got a conflict:
yum install kmod-fglrx fglrx-x11-drv
--> Running transaction check

--> Processing Conflict: kmod-fglrx conflicts module-init-tools =

Do you have any idea of how I should fix it?
You need to update module-init-tools to a later version. This version is
in fastbugs.
yum --enablerepo=sl-fastbugs update module-init-tools
