Hi
I've just recently purchase an ATI 3780 card (Asus EAH3870) I'm having a problem setting up any compiz or dual monitor support under fedora 9. If I run compiz the screen remains blank with a beige background, until it eventually reverts back to a normal display. I was under the impression fedora 9 through the radeon driver supported this ati model. Can anyone shed any light on how to resolve this please?

Unfortunately, not likely at this time. I'm not sure about for i386/i686, but the ATI proprietary fglrx driver still doesn't work with F9 x86_64 after more than four months without doing some apparently risky downgrades or hacks, and I have my doubts about the 32-bit version. The default radeon driver that is present in F9 by default doesn't do 3d acceleration, so compiz and even GL based screen savers will not work properly if they work at all. Heck, I often get lag when scrolling through my email with my 3850... Needless to say, I'm beginning to wonder why I've stuck with Fedora since FC2, I'm reasonably sure I could get the fglrx driver to work without much effort on another distribution.
Sorry for the bad news. Raymond

Thanks for the reply. My first foray into the world of higher end graphics card has started off miserably. Infact my wireless card (linksys wmp54g) doesn't even work. I'm an optimistic kind of guy but after spending £100 on a graphics card I'm rather disappointed.
I'm sure people are trying hard and my complements go to them, I just wished my optimism around the latest distro would have been well founded, I guess not.
If anyone can help me find a way round, that would be appreciated.
Thanks Dan
