OK, I am having a challenging time with my video drivers, which
I am not complaining, I knew this whole process was going to be an
experience builder, I like a challenge. I am a game designer in the
works that is why I am liking this OS because of all the different
developing software they have that are open source. Any way I finally
fingered out how to use the terminal to install the ATI drivers for my
card, strait from ati web site, run the aticonfig, which i dont know if
I am soppost to modify any thing, reboot and it loads to the blue and
white load screen and freezes. had to reinstall fresh. You said
You sure are going about this the hard way....
" I'm sure Kevin Kofler will have more to say on this subject, as
he seems to be more up-to-date on the state of the free ATI drivers
than I am."
If you could forward this to him or tell me where to contact him via
email,
He is on this list.
I do not think I am installing XFree86-Mesa-libGL correct.
Pretty sure I got the rest, libstdc++, libgcc, XFree86-libs,
fontconfig, freetype, zlib, gcc

Display2: Onbord ATI Radeon™ X1200 -- I dont use Onbord
sys info: Acer Aspire M1100

I can not do any 3D modeling or relly anything that has to use any 3D
rendering like some of the 3d games you can install and the desktop
effects will not enable.
Try the following:
yum install xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd
You should also have the xorg-x11-drv-ati package installed.
In your /etc/X11/xorg.conf, you might try changing your driver from
"ati" or "radeon" to either "radeonhd" or "fglrx" (since you have the
fglrx driver installed from source). Personally, I install it from the
RPMFusion repository.
# rpmq -a \*fglrx\*
akmod-fglrx-9.3-1.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-9.3-2.fc9.x86_64
kmod-fglrx-9.3-1.fc9.x86_64
kmod-fglrx-2.6.27.19-78.2.30.fc9.x86_64-9.2-2.fc9.1.x86_64
kmod-fglrx-2.6.27.21-78.2.41.fc9.x86_64-9.3-1.fc9.x86_64
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs-9.3-2.fc9.x86_64
A simple:
yum install xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
should drag in all the needed dependencies.
And above all, read the documentation that comes with the drivers. Make
sure that your video card is supported to the degree you need it supported.
