Hiya,
does anyone know where I can get hold of some ATI display drivers for Xorg 7. I want to move to FC5 which uses Xorg 7. I have an ATI Radeon 9600se. I am confused because my card worked with Xorg 6.9 but not 7. ATI don't have any Xorg 7 drivers yet.

Any ideas!


Yes I know, i should have got an Nvidia!

nah, bollocks to nvidia, i used geforce cards for about 4 years and then got a Radeon 9200... works great with the stock drivers on Xorg.

personally i just "yum update"'d to FC5 over night and the only thing i had any trouble with was the radeon drivers. but only in as much as the generic radeon driver seems to work differently and so i had to use the weird device section options to use both outputs, which i don't like.

but anyway... the xorg-x11-drv-ati rpm in fc5 contains all the base drivers just fine, obviously notthe ATI proprietary fglrx ones, but i always found them crappy. i guess if i played games on a single head machine i'd have a different opinion, but i find the standard "radeon" driver much better.

i wonder if you can describe the process of evening using the generic ati drivers to us? i just installed FC 5 last night and am stuck in 800X600 mode. puke!!!

i don't care if i have to use a walmart no-name brand driver, i just want my 1280X768 back. I'll look into the xorg.conf file tonight and try changing some of the settings, but last time, i don't recall having an xorg.conf file in /etc/X11/?

As long as there is hope. that's all... tell me there is hope to use 7.0 in a 1280X768 environment with an ATI driver integrated with my mother board, on a 64 bit system.

i had hoops to jump through from my dual head config, but for a single head system-config-display did a more than adequate job automatically.
