The vesa driver doesn't (as far as I know) have any 3D capabilities. You should probably consider installing the ATI fglrx if you want decent performance with ATI hardware (yes, I know its closed source ... Make you own decision. For me, with nvidia, I *have* to install the nvidia driver since the OSS nv driver has zero 3D performance, and I need 3D performance for work reasons.) cheers Chris
I'm googling fglrx now. I have no problem with installing proprietary software: if somebody developed it and licensed it for legal usage, then why not? Of course I would also prefer to use and to promote open source code, but I'll not cripple my system in the absence of such code. As per the instructions at http://www.fedorafaq.org/ I drop to runlevel 3 after installing kmod-fglrx via yum. I try to run ati-fglrx-config-display, but it is not installed! Other than installing from the tarball, is there any way to properly configure fglrx? Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com/what_is/webpage.html http://dotancohen.com/eng/online_casino_gambling.php
