Under F11 you may find you get *more* functionality with the open drivers than the closed ones even if Fedora were fully supported by fglrx.
F11 should be the first place where KMS, DRI2, RDR, and the radeon-rewrite effort all come together; I think it (or Rawhide) is also where most of the Gallium3D-on-AMD work is being done.

Today we haven't dropped anything other than an announcement; this is all about the future

Just curious which hardware you have. If it's 5xx or higher then radeonhd should support it, unless it's just a set of IDs we haven't heard about yet (in which case we'd want to get them added to both drivers).
The last holdout was acceleration on rs600 (the Intel FSB version of RS690), but I think agd5f got that working recently.

Radeonhd works already pretty well on my machine for everything except 3D, which I sometimes need for work.

Originally posted by Moronix View PostI suggest you stick with at least one version back if you're going to use Fedora. I only moved to 10 now because of mencoder, but now I find firefox is screwed. Horribly slow free driver.

I never succeeded in installing fglrx on F10 from the official installer, but the method described in the link I've posted before worked for me. However, I am on a 32bit system. Depending on the things you've already tried, you may have to clean something up first before trying that approach, like uninstalling the non-working official installer, or forcing a reinstall of the Xorg-server package. Or it may just be broken right now for your system and the current packages...
I know it's tedious to search through the 215 pages (hint: use "Show Results as posts"), but that thread on fedoraforums really is your best chance of finding information about how to get it running!
