Here's the relevant phoronix news article relating to it:
I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to set up my system correctly, or participate in some way to assist the Fedora community in getting open source support for this hardware.
I have tried Fedora 12 through to 14 on my system. I have tried to poke under the hood as far as I could with my limited knowledge. Things have definitely improved.
My system was plagued by SIGSEGV and SIGABRT errors earlier. I was able to achieve some stability on F13 with the Catalyst driver and a specific kernel version. I installed F14 this weekend. Keen to stick with the open source driver, was glad to see Compiz work initially. Ran ok for a while, then started getting SIGSEGVs again. So I turned that off and went back to the default (The standard desktop effect is 2D, I guess). Don't know where to go from here. Or is this the best that is presently possible with this hardware? Would appreciate some direction.
I am trying to maintain a history of my findings << here >>, hoping someone with knowledge of linux graphics can point out how to get this right.
