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 /files/126029926/info-files.tar.bz2.html. this is hosted on rapidshare"#dot#"com. "Sorry but this is no spam". There you can find the info from xorg.0.log, glxinfo, glxgears, xorg.conf, lspci info and the installed packages.
Any ideas how to make my it work with the foss ati driver?
