I installed Fedora 13 on my computer but I am having trouble installing drivers for my video card. My card is an ATI Radeon 5770. I downloaded the proprietary 10.7 drivers but it wont install them. Im completely new to Fedora and none of the tutorials I found on the internet on how to install the drivers made any sense. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

...

Glad I could help :)

That's because Fedora is a Linux distro and will not accept Windows drivers. You need to select either the 32bit or 64bit drivers at the AMD driver page and it looks like the latest Catalyst drivers for Linux are 10.6.
