rpm for ATI video card

You can download latest executables to create rpm from the AMD website. 
Or you can download the rpm from pkgs.org.  Two required rpm are
flgrx-kmod
flgrx-x11-drv

My machine is running CentOS 5.7. 
I ran rpm -i flgrx-kmod flgrx-x11-drv to install the packages.

If fglrxinfo says “mesa3d.org” instead of “ATI” Like below: (found in Madathil Unni's Blog)


you may need to type this command as root:

#set opengl ati

Now, opening the VM running Windows XP, you should not have no trouble enabling 3D accelerations on your XP VM.
