I do have usable 3d acceleration for my ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 using the open source radeon driver which is good enough for compositing and desktop effects. However, for me at least, the driver does not seem to work properly with most 3D games such as Doom3 and windows games run via wine. Quake3 on the other hands runs fine though. You will have to update Fedora after installation to benefit from the new drivers and 3d acceleration. It could be that is because of some of my settings in xorg.conf. I haven't really looked into that as I don't use my laptop for playing games. Furthermore, I do not know how well newer ATI cards work with Fedora. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
