This is my first post to here, and you'll have to excuse me for being a newbie.

I just installed Fedora Test 3 on my laptop and am having a terrible time getting the graphics card to display in anything higher than 600x800. I believe I am looking for drivers for a Radeon IGP 320M. If anyone has any experience with this card, i'd be so greatful!

lol. I wish you luck. However there is a howto tutorial on this site for the 340m I thinks. Having the same card as you. I would really, really recommend that you stay AWAY from fedora. I get soo much better support for my radeon with suse9.1. that and I got my volume controls working

I agree with Mr_C above

Whilst Fedora is a good distro, it really has some issues with certain HP notebooks (Mine included)
yours is apparently one of those,

Most distros will give you 1024x768 @ 15/16/32bit colours using the standard vesa drivers, and unless you play games or need 3d acceleration this is fine for web browsing mail and everyday general use.

In my own past experience I have found that Fedora /Red Hat and Mandrake all have some issues with certain HP notebooks, which is a bloody pity cos they are very good for beginners to Linux.

As mentioned above Suse works well, as does Mepis and Slackware.

However before you make any decisions on other distros have a look at the HP section on these 2 sites:

Linux on Laptops
&
Tuxmobil

Just in case somene else has encountered this problem and found a resolution to it.

more hp laptops.....like I said in another post....'people, please STOP buying these laptops, and get real ones...that means non-american brands'

zLinuxz you may have the status of "Guru", but that gives you NO RIGHT to criticise other peoples equipment,

So if you have nothing sensible or even useful to add here,

Then please don't waste our time by posting spam or other derisory comments.

Thank you

naw, I'm not criticizying you for having the equiptment that you have, it's too late for you anyway, you already have it, and maybe it was your choice or maybe it wasn't your choice in which case it wouldn't be your fault. What I am saying however, and continue to hold, is that if you want un-necessary problems and headaches, then in general you definately want to get an hp laptop and try to install Linux on it, because more than often you'll have problems with the hardware that they choose to install on their laptops when installing Linux. In other words....it's like this....HP is too Microsoftish... so you should boycott them... if you are really a true Linux believer.
That's all.... nothing personal buddy.

@ zLinuxz

My apologies to you, I mistakenly thought that you were being a zealot towards HP notebooks
as some people tend to be,
This is actually my second HP notebook and both have ran Linux flawlessly (so I get a bit defensive)

Thanks for taking the time to post and put me straight concerning your previous post.
however, I do agree with you that HP are very microsoftish and XP centric with their machines.

Once again my apologies

Cheers

Scott

No problem Bad Penny, glad to hear everything is well!,
I am very happy to hear as well that Linux is running very well in your hp laptops, about time for that to happen, hehhe.... I remember like 6 years ago...trying to install Slackware 3.2 on a Compaq Presario 4850....it was hell and it never ever was it able to run Linux. Maybe if I tried now...maybe, but still I have my doubts, heheh.
