I have RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP] integrated chip in my laptop and it has lots of problems with the fglrx driver. In particular fglrx doesn't like the 2.6.25 kernel and the xorg in my F9. SO i decided to swith to the open source ati driver.
My cards is (from lspci -vvv):
I searched through this forum and lots of people claim they've made it work with their ati cards. But I cannot. I used F9 and here what my xorg.conf looks like:
I have the following packages installed:
with the fglrx I got about 1700 FPS. but with the ati-6.8.192 it is only about 250 FPS. with opensuse live it goes to about 550 FPS. the actual results are
Because I cannot attach files here I zipped them and uploaded them on http://rapidshare.com/files/12602992...s.tar.bz2.html .There you can find the info from xorg.0.log, fglinfo, fglgears, xorg.conf, lspci info and the installed packages.
Any ideas how to my it work with the foss ati driver?
