Server aborting The drivers for fc6 had no such problems on the same Radeon X1650 card. Unfortunately, like fc6, the radeon drivers in fc7 no nothing about this chipset. So I am stuck with vesa drivers until the fglrx ones are fixed again. Sigh. Jack
The ati drivers still do not work with F7. They DO work with other distros (mostly), but not F7.
8.37 came out today, but ... see: http://www.phoronix.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3085 "More than likely you'll need to wait until 8.38"
