[sllug-members]: Linux on ThinkPad T60p

[Matthew Hatch]

So, don't use the yum repositories and install it manually.  :)  It's not too involved.  You can get the installer here:

https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8.38.6-x86.x86_64.run

You can then just run that script as "sh ati-driver-installer-8.38.6-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Fedora/F7", whereupon it will build an rpm you can install.  Pretty cool.
