[elrepo] ATI (fglrx) drivers version 15.9 & EL7

[Williams, Roy]

Wolfy,

I appreciate the quick follow-up, I stumbled on the similar information
searching around. That trick did work in that order, I've put back the
libglx.so file, although it's important to mention that I had to run
'amdconfig --initial' to generate a xorg.conf that was acceptable. I wanted
to find out if there was a way to leave the auto-detection portions in tact
and move most of that into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d but I haven't had time to
investigate that this morning.

I created a file 20-fglrx.conf within the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ folder and
that seemed sufficient to keep it from loading libglx.so from the normal
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/ path and instead from
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/extensions/fglrx.
