Re: Howto for fglrx / catalyst (Ati driver)
Hi,
Now I was running Xen on Fedora 18.
I've followed this tutorial http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Fed...allation_Guide ,
and it boot normal, but then after loading the screen turns to black.
I think it didn't break. because when I hit NumLock, its working.

Re: Howto for fglrx / catalyst (Ati driver)
Am I reading right that my ATI HD4350 1GB card won't work with Fedora 17?

don't worry, it will work quite decent with the default drivers of F17. This guide is only for the closed source driver, which gives just a better 3D performance and better power saving features.

The fact that you even mention gallium drivers also tells a lot. To anyone thinking about even casual gaming gallium is a no go, nothing but trivia.

I'm talking reality, you talk expectations. Just don't go around sharing your jolly expectations to Linux newcommers who are about to buy hardware.

Casual gaming on a 3 or 4 year old AMD Radeon card works decent, that is my experience. I'm playing every week Regnum Online with a Radeon HD 4650 card. The 3D performance is just about 25% slower than it would be with proprietary drivers.
2) this detail is quite irrelevant. Your mention of it shows that you have not really that much AMD, ATI driver experience otherwise you would know that there was little progress with AMD's Catalyst drivers from 2010 to end of 2012 at least for 4xxx series cards.

Re: Howto for fglrx / catalyst (Ati driver)
Anyone know when we can expect a 13.4 build on rpmfusion?

Re: Howto for fglrx / catalyst (Ati driver)
Hopefully soon. It's already on openSUSE 12.3, but I seem to have lost my brightness control, so I hope it doesn't affect Fedora the same way.

Re: Howto for fglrx / catalyst (Ati driver)
Hey,
Anyone else having issues with the 13.4 build from rpmfusion. My system goes into a hard hang just after plymouth finishes, just before kdm is meant to startup.
The only solution was to downgrade to 13.1. I don't see anything in dmesg or the logs which is wierd.

Re: Howto for fglrx / catalyst (Ati driver)
Hi,
I've got the same issue (I think it's "the same"). It looks like total hang during graphics environment start but it's just no backlight turning on. Issue same as mine is described here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/c...u&comments=all (reply from 2013-05-11 11:15). Given workarounds didn't work for me.
