There is no Fedora 7 patch for fglrx 8.28 since Fedora 7 uses X.Org 7.2 and X server 1.3, which are not supported by version 8.28.8 and no patch can back-port the X support.
What are you after by using a newer driver? If faster performance, try grabbing Mesa 7 and the latest driver from Fedora Rawhide. You can check out the open-source Radeon driver for TV-Out support too.
Thanks for your response. It looks like I'm stuck at this point.
What I'm after is that I'm trying to get X to push my panel resolution to it's native 1680x1050 mode. This was working until I had BestBuy service my PC. They swapped the MOBO (broken usb connector) and the Panel (backlight was flakey). When it came back even the winxp driver wouldn't recognize it.
I was hoping the ATI driver would allow me to override the BIOS panel detection and set the mode appropriately. Even when I specify the modeline my Xorg.0.log shows that my 1680x1050 is out of range and X refuses to put it into that mode. Rather, it drops back to 1280x800.
