*Important Notes*

The 13.1 release drops support for older devices. This driver ONLY 
SUPPORTS Radeon HD 5000, HD 6000 or HD 7000 series card.

Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000 and HD 4000 series cards are NO LONGER SUPPORTED 
by this driver.

Further, since older legacy drivers are incompatible with the 6.4 
release (they do not support Xorg ABI 13 of the present Xorg release), 
users of older cards are effectively left without support for a 
proprietary AMD/ATI driver for EL6.4 (this may change if AMD decide to 
backport support for Xorg 13 into subsequent legacy driver releases).

If you have a Radeon HD 2000, HD 3000 or HD 4000 series card your 
current options are:

1. When updating to 6.4, don't update xorg* packages and add an exclude 
line to to your yum.conf to prevent further updating.
2. Uninstall the AMD proprietary drivers and use the distro kernel 
drivers with 6.4.

Thank you,

The ELRepo Team.
