[elrepo] kmod-fglrx 11-12 64 bit

[gilesaj]

Thanks for the reply
I tried that and it came back with "Nothing to do".  This is probably because I removed all of fglrx using YUM and tried to reinstall an older version manually by downloading it from Elrepo.  I could not do that as I kept getting errors about not having all the dependencies.  So if I want to download the rpm's from Elepo how do I get them to install ??

Sorry that I am such a novice at Linux.

If you have the yum-allowdowngrade plugin installed then yum can 
downgrade packages for you:

yum install yum-allowdowngrade

then

yum downgrade kmod-fglrx fglrx-x11-drv fglrx-x11-drv-32bit

should do the trick.

After the "downgrade" you will need to reboot the system.

Hope that helps.
