In order to install Catalyst it is necessary to downgrade to xorg 1.12. I used this method https://ask.fedoraproject.org/questi...gacy-chipsets/ but it doesn't seem to work anymore. I get (~$command / ### error >>> my action):
>>> ignored
>>>
>>> seemed ok
>>> ignored
>>> ignored
>>> fail
Then I tried the ZREPO script:

but I got a lot of dependency errors
