[elrepo] Centos 7.4 and fglrx

[Jeremy Schaeffer]

I downloaded it and it sort of installed. Dracut failed, said it could not install fglrx driver. I ran dracut manually and it did not complain. But I have the same error in Xorg.0.conf where fglrx fails to inialize. ☹️


[root at timothy ~]# rpm -Uvh kmod-fglrx-15.12-7.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm fglrx-x11-drv-15.12-7.el7.elrepo.x86_64.rpm
