      Fedora 13 users aren't...

      But, if they owned a Fermi card, Fedora 13 could be installed and the card can be used.

      I've read mixed results for users of Evergreen cards in Ubuntu 10.04 but if you say so...

        Really, what are the steps to setup a fermi middle class (let's say 200$) on fedora 13? it is working out of the box? VDPAU fine?

          I also have a 4350 card, and as fas as I know it is not really feature complete, for example hw deinterlacing with video acceleration is not working at all.

            For Linux x86 and 640bit, on the Nvidia page for GTX 480 and GTX 470, it states driver support for xserver 1.8.

            Therefore, one is probably safe to assume those cards will work in Fedora 13. At the very least, there'll be a usable desktop.

              ATI should give Fedora prerelease drivers with xserver 1.8 support - that's what they do for Ubuntu too...

                Does anybody know what the status of Xvba decoding is in this release? It seems like no matter what I do, I get awful tearing in DVD playback with my 5770 on Linux. It's a joke.

                  ATI Catalyst 10.5

                  Have everyone notice when installing the latest ATI driver 10.5 on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx; when trying to uninstall center or any other package, it wants to remove the new ATI driver with it, and I have no clue what going on or if its Ubuntu Lucid Lynx error...

                    I support this post.

                    it might really be helpful to have a running (working) Fedora installation with fglrx as a backup plan (especially if you're dependent on bleeding edge components !)

                      This driver singlehandedly turned pretty much every Wine application I have from "almost but not quite working" to "working completely fine - platinum".

                      Plus my own OpenGL/GLUT applications would usually display static flicker until I updated the screen the first time. (Which I didn't for a while to display a laoding screen)
                      It worked fine on NVIDIA cards, but it didn't work on ATI cards. Now it works on ATI cards, too!

                      The patchnotes don't even come close to describe what was done in this driver release - it is absolutely amazing!

                      Thank you, ATI. For once: Really thank you.

                      Time to get into Linux gaming. I finally can!
