Hello,
I have an HP Pavilion g series laptop with an ATI vision A6 video chipset. I tried elrepos ati driver but found that the laptop would freeze intermittently and frequently. So I unloaded that driver and am running with nomodeset argument just to get a desktop.
I went to the ATI site but am not sure what to try. Would anyone know which driver I could use that would work?
Thanks in advance,
Phil

The drivers you installed from ELRepo are exactly the same ones that are available from the AMD/ATI site, just repackaged for easy installation. If the ELRepo drivers don't work, the same drivers directly from AMD won't work either.

Thank you for this. Guess I'm stuck then. Great... No wireless and limited video. I guess I really know how to pick 'em. Again, thank you for your time.

Go to ElRepo site, or ElRepo mailing list and report a problem.
As for wireless, use Elrepo DeviceID page http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs to find out if they have the driver for it.
I just finished installing 3 Acer 5349 laptops with Atheros LAN and Broadcom WiFi. I luckily had USB NIC (Ralink or Realtek) that I used to install kmod packages from ElRepo repository.
