Re: ATI Mobility Radeon 5450 driver and Fedora 12 X86_64

Hi Jatin,

I don't know anybody who has any success with ATI driver with FC12.
check out these links,

You may want to try the mesa driver. I have ATI mobility Radeon HD 4570 & the mesa driver works with FC12 on my dell studio 15.
I have not tried with games or full HD movies, but the desktop effect, 3d etc works fine.

Before installing the mesa driver, you need to uninstall the ATI driver first.
Please be informed that the mesa driver is experimental & may contain bugs.

yum install mesa-dri-drivers-experimental

& then reboot.

 
Thanks,

Biswajit Ghosal
