For the record, F13 on a Gigabyte 880GM-USB3 with a dual-core AMD Phenom II (that reportedly could be unlocked to quad-core). While I got dual-display working at 1920x1080 each, one of which is rotated. I don't have MIDI working, nor can I use the surround sound. I just have basic stereo. I had the fglrx driver working for a while, then it mysteriously stopped working with newer kernels and now the radeon driver works beautifully. Though not nearly as fast as the fglrx driver, at least I don't have white lines at the edge of the rotated monitor. -- Jonathan Gardner jgardner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
