LinuxQuestions.org - 3D acceleration in ATI Mobility Radeon X700 (Acer Aspire 1694WLMi)

Have you installed the X.org version in the ATI site?

If you didn't, I suggest you to do it :)

After that, go to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, replace it with this one and reboot:

        InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"

        InputDevice    "Mouse1" "AlwaysCore"

        InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

EndSection



Section "Files"



# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name of the 

# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db").  There is normally

# no need to change the default.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)

# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of

# the X server to render fonts.

        RgbPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"

        FontPath    "unix/:7100"

# Specify which keyboard LEDs can be user-controlled (eg, with xset(1))

#        Option        "Xleds"                "1 2 3"

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.

#        Option        "XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the

# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.

# keyboard, you will probably want to use:

#        Option        "XkbModel"        "pc102"

# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:

#        Option        "XkbModel"        "microsoft"

#

# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.

# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

#        Option        "XkbLayout"        "de"

# or:

#        Option        "XkbLayout"        "de"

#        Option        "XkbVariant"        "nodeadkeys"

#

# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and

# control keys, use:

#        Option        "XkbOptions"        "ctrl:swapcaps"

# Or if you just want both to be control, use:

#        Option        "XkbOptions"        "ctrl:nocaps"

That's all! Good luck ;)

You will still have problems with the 3D acceleration, but at least FC4 will look fine :)
