For testers, installing x11-driver-video-fglrx and fglx-kernel-<flavour>-latest should pull in dkms-fglrx, kernel-desktop-devel-<flavour>-latest and dkms + gcc buildchain + deps and install and work properly... Advisory: Updated fglrx driver fixes GPL violation It's been found that shipping prebuilt proprietary kernel modules is in violation of the GPL license. Since Mageia.org is pro open source we adjust the way we provide support for propritetary drivers. In order to comply with GPL, this update switches to dkms source based setup that builds the needed modules at kernel / driver install time. This update also adds support for kernel 4.4 series.

M5 x64 real hardware with AMD/ATI/Radeon video. Prior to the 4.4.11 kernel, I had installed from this list: dkms-fglrx-15.302-4.mga5.nonfree fglrx-control-center-15.302-4.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-15.302-10.mga5.nonfree x11-driver-video-fglrx-15.302-4.mga5.nonfree all without problems. The kernel itself is now updated to 4.4.11, but no sign of its fglrx equivalent: fglrx-kernel-4.1.15-desktop-2.mga5-15.302-1.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-4.4.9-desktop-1.mga5-15.302-7.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-3.19.8-desktop-3.mga5-15.200.1046-1.1.mga5.nonfree Does this matter?

It does not matter. There will be no more fglrx-kernel rpms. The module build will now be built exclusively using dkms-fglrx on the users system.

Mageia 5 x64 real hardware with AMD Radeon HD7310 video [further to my comment 1] 4.4.11-desktop-1.mga5 dkms-fglrx-15.302-4.mga5.nonfree fglrx-control-center-15.302-4.mga5.nonfree fglrx-kernel-desktop-latest-15.302-10.mga5.nonfree x11-driver-video-fglrx-15.302-4.mga5.nonfree After a lot of system use, no problems, so OKing this update for x64.

Lewis you can check what is properly installed with.. # dkms status -m fglrx It will show "installed" for dkms packages and "installed from binary" for the old prebuilt kmods
I don't have AMD hardware but just ensuring it updates/builds ok for current kernel 4.1.15. Adding an OK to the OK and Validating.
