I was using FC1 with the 2.4 kernel and fglrx worked great. But when I became a Suse 9.1 user I discovered ATI does not support the 2.6 kernel. There are workarounds for it which require manually compiling a kernel module. It works but not as great as it did on 2.4. I gave it a 5 because 2.6 has been out for a while and ATI needs to get on top of things. If I were still using 2.4 I would give it 9-10.
