I can't get my ATI All in Wonder 9600 to do the 3D stuff. I have Fedora 6 on an Intel mboard.
First I tried the drivers from ATI website, both 8.32.5-x86.x86_64 and 8.34.8-x86.x86_64 versions: no 3D acceration. (Issues with kernel while installing)
Then I installed the drivers provided by freshrpms with yum: nope!
Finally I did
yum install kmod-fglrx
updated kernel to 2.6.20-1.2925.fc6, as well as kernel-headers and kernel-develop.
Now I have 2 kernels to boot from, so I use 2.6.20 to match the kmod-fglrx version. I tested with aticonfig --initial
fglrx-config-display enable
etc,
but nothing.
The last thing I did was to put the original copy of xorg.conf in /etc/X11/ (and I mean the one the system used the first time)

I found this in a forum cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep WW && cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

I really have no idea, I've been trying for three days and I haven't slept much.
I'd appreciate any suggestion, the sooner the better, I don't know how long I will have internet access for. I'm just a newbie born in the wrong country or under the wrong political system.
