ATI graphics on Fedora 14

[Dagorath]

I am thinking of buying a new computer. It has ATI Radeon HD 3000 Graphics. Will that work with Fedora 14? Will I need to install a driver to get it to work? If so, where would I download that driver?

Hi

You can download ATI drivers from here:

Your card will work fine with the open source radeon driver, but hardware acceleration is not, I think, fully functional.

For the non-free Catalyst driver, it's available from the 3rd party repo rpmfusion.


Enable rpmfusion

su -c 'yum localinstall --nogpgcheck http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm'

Install the driver

su -c 'yum install kmod-fglrx'

Well, I went ahead and bought the new computer and the driver installed by Fedora 14 works just fine. I don't do a lot of graphics work so if the hardware acceleration is not fully functional I don't really care.

Thanks for the replies folks.
