ATI Radeon X700 pci-e fedora core Big problems


Hi Every 1,

I am having problems with my ATI Radeon X700 pci-e card being accepted on fedora core 4.
I am a complete newbie to Linux and have read many of the articles on this forum and others concerning the issue of these ATI graphics cards.
I have followed and downloaded the RPM packages from the ATI support website to no avail. I'm currently using the vesa drivers but restricted to a 640x480 resolution. When I try to increase the resolution size again this too was not successful.
The ATI Radeon X700 card is not present in the “Video Card” device list.
I am at a complete loss at the moment I am considering to buy another graphics card??
Can any 1 help me plz….??
Kind Regards

Matt.

Hi All you need do is install the drivers from ATI's web site, make sure to configure them also, Installing is just not enough they must be configured.
