[elrepo] Centos 7.4 and fglrx

[Jeremy Schaeffer]

Thank you for your help. Unfortunately the release on the amd site only supports 7.1 and older (Xorg 1.10 and older) and I am guessing they have not updated the package (Xorg is showing version 1.19). It will not install either, complains incompatible version. From what I can tell this is a error between that version of X and the driver, either X no longer supports that symbol, changed its name or X is trying to use a new symbol that the driver does not have. At least that is what simular errors end up being. I guess I am stuck with a dead machine. Either I try to get amd to fix it or buy a different card (this one is on the motherboard) . I wonder what card is well supported and can be used for gaming. Thanks again, if I figure anything out I'll let you know. - Jeremy
