The fractional Fokker-Planck equation, which contains a variable diffusion coefficient, is discussed and solved. It corresponds to the L\'evy flights in a nonhomogeneous medium. For the case with the linear drift, the solution is stationary in the long-time limit and it represents the L\'evy process with a simple scaling. The solution for the drift term in the form $\lambda\hbox{sgn}(x)$ possesses two different scales which correspond to the L\'evy indexes $\mu$ and $\mu+1$ $(\mu<1)$. The former component of the solution prevails at large distances but it diminishes with time for a given $x$. The fractional moments, as a function of time, are calculated. They rise with time and the rate of this growth increases with $\lambda$.
