Hi Kevin, I have F11 installed on my ASUS laptop and used to use the fglrx drivers for it (Mobility Radeon X1600) on FC6 and F9. As of F11, fglrx is no longer available. ATI/AMD have renamed it catalyst, and it no longer supports the older cards that used to need fglrx. What I can tell you is that as of F11, I can plug my laptop into my new TV via the VGA port on the side if the laptop and I can run either at my laptop LCDs resolution (1200x800) or my TV's resolution (1360x768). All with the stock radeon driver. BTW, I have to have the TV connected (and turned on) for the configuration tool to recognize it (scan for monitors). > Also, when I shut down the machine does not power off by itself, it takes the > OS down, then prints a 'power off' message on the screen.

It fixed my problems with suspend not entering the suspended state (though I never had any problems with shutdown not powering off).... > Thanks in advance I hope this helps! -- Kevin J.
