Hi,

Thanks for testing and the feedback.

We run aticonfig in the %post install scriptlet, which now seems to call 
a couple of additional scripts (new to 11.5) which we didn't package, 
hence the error above.

With the ATI installer package installed, can you please show me:

ll /usr/lib64/fglrx/

and I'll try to get fixed packages available tomorrow (or over the weekend).

Thanks.
