This. Also: the more we test that, the more quickly DPM will get fixed. My E-450 wasn't booting at all with RC1 + DPM (WSoD), but the bugfixing patches between RC1 and RC2 saved the day.

Replying to myself: there is a new package in a special Fedora repository that does the trick. So, my E-450 netbook, with Fedora 19 with special repos, Mesa from yesterday, and with a special firmware folder setup (I deleted /usr/lib/firmware and replaced it with a git clone of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git ), is running like a dream. Same battery life as Catalyst, none of Catalyst bugs, splendid 2D performance, more than adequate 3D performance, VDPAU video acceleration... This is amazing.
The only things missing seem to be:
1. Are E-450 Turbo GPU speeds supported by DPM?
2. OpenGL 4.xLast edited by Alejandro Nova; 24 July 2013, 06:06 PM.

FGLRX, with XVBA, doesn't seem to support MPEG2 hardware decoding (only h264, VC1), but if I understand correctly the Free driver implementation does. If so that is seriously awesome, because HDTV is broadcast here in super high bitrate MPEG2 + aac. My E-450 is able to decode it on the CPU, but just barely. It'll be nice not having the CPU running at 98% all the time.

It's me again. You won't have any issues anymore with today's Fedora update.
