Hey,
I am running FC5 on a inspiron 9300 with 1.7GHz Centrino and X300 64MB graphics card. I have installed the fglrx driver from livna using: yum install kmod-fglrx.
'rpm -qa | grep fglrx*' gives me the following output:
kmod-fglrx-8.29.6-1.2.6.18_1.2239.fc5
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-8.29.6-1.lvn5
My xorg.conf file looks like this (I haven't shown the stuff I thought was irrelevant such as Input Devices):
Section "ServerLayout"

It seems to be set up but when I run glxgears maximized to full screen I get about 180FPS! This seems very slow in comparison to what other people are getting from similar systems. Could someone please help me out to find where my problem is since I'm very new to linux and totally new to FC.
Any help would be appreciated
