Hello there,
Does anyone know if there is a workaround for running the ati fglrx drivers on fedora 13 or how difficult it would be to port fedora 12's xorg to f13? For fedora 12 there is this: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=22884 And it works (thanks Steffen Seeger for the effort!), but I'm now on fedora 13 and laptop gets too hot with the experimental mesa drivers (altough performance wise they are decentish).
Thanks!

I would love to see the fglrx driver and and catalyst work on F13. I have a radion chip.
So the best you can do is to write an email to AMD.

All those Linux fan boys out there shilling for AMD and it can't even take care of them?

AMD is taking care of the people who really care. They publish data on how to make their stuff work.
If people want AMD stuff working well on Fedora they should be helping work on the radeon driver or general opengl support, not worrying about catalyst.

But judging from the actual results on several different ATI cards with the radeon driver the published data leaves a lot of details out about the differences between the 47,526 different model cards they produced over the years :-).
Things have definitely gotten better in fedora 13 on most of my systems with ATI cards, but at least one card worked better in fedora 12.

I import my Fedora graphics to a Windows box. Everything, including ATI
Catalyst, works just fine. The volume of talent and intellect that is being siphoned off into trying to make Fedora work like Windows just boggles my mind.

And that is assuming everyone that uses Linux has the aptitude to code for Linux even for the OpenGL drivers?

Again not everyone knows how to code a drive myself included.

There just needs to be some people who are willing to do the work.

But they can be nice (buy beers or whatever) to the people who do do this. Testers who write coherent bug reports are also useful.

Well, you'd have to know whether "all those Linux" users are a significant number compared to all the other users, for AMD to care.
But then, even that's no guarantee. Plenty of hardware manufacturers have put out crap hardware for Windows users for years, sometimes releasing bug fixes, but never fully fixing their hardware. Expecting users to simply buy another card if they're really annoyed with having to keep on rebooting around a problem.
