I expect the next Catalyst driver beta release, introducing a new branch, on monday or tuesday.

Thanks, Circulus! As fate would have it, that's actually my blog to which you just directed me! =) I just forgot to update my post in this forum after I found the solution to the problem. Thanks, though!

However, I just updated my kernel this morning to version 3.14.2-200.fc20.x86_64 and attempts to reinstall Catalyst 14.4 RC have failed. Attempts to install Catalyst 14.4 final have failed as well, and I'm currently investigating. If anyone else is experiencing this, I'm receiving the following error when attempting to install the 14.4 driver: [Error] Kernel Module : Failed to build fglrx-14.10 with DKMS. Let me know, as I'm sure we could use one another's help in resolving (or fully understanding) the matter.

Originally posted by evanjfraser View PostHi there, thanks for the info.
I did install XFCE, and even launching it via startx as root (to take GDM out of the equation), it still gave me the sad face error message. It's more than possible I didn't quite get it right though.
I do quite like gnome-shell, but it's no major loss to move to XFCE really.
I'll try again tonight.

I read somewhere that it doesn't work due to experimental wayland support built into some packages on fedora 20, so I guess it's not really AMD's fault it doesn't work.
But is there a repo or something to make it all a bit easier than manually re-compiling?

But I don't understand why linux proprietary Catalyst has a worse performance than Windows releases. Nvidia's binary blobs have almost the same performance in both OSes.
