    It seems to work fine on my HD3450.

    Much easier:

    su -

    yum install mesa-dri-drivers-experimental

    Thanks, by the way which version of the kernel does the latest version have (before I install)?

    Choose between "desktop" (gnome) and "kde". (or just grab the alpha on the site, and yum update)

    I'm not sure about whether the current level of support is sufficient for WOW or CS 1.6, maybe someone else can comment on that.
    I had CS1.6 running on my 4850, so it should run even better on an R500.

    Which Fedora builds in paticular would have most of these features (guessing a snapshot of F12)? Links please.

    KMS/DRI2/OpenGL are working on r6xx/r7xx hardware with drm-next and git master of mesa and xf86-video-ati.
