kmod-fglrx-xen package

[Filipe Miranda]

Hello there

Is there a kmod-fglrx-xen package available to use ATI X1300 and fglrx on
FC6?

I tried to boot using a xen kernel and the X does not work

Regards,

[Daniel P. Berrange]

fglrx is a proprietry driver and as a matter of policy Fedora does not
provide any direct support for these. There are 3rd party YUM repositories
which may have hacked up versions to work with Xen, but ultimately its up
to ATI to provide it for Xen since they're the only ones who can legally
work on the code.

The open source radeon driver doesn't support the X1300 yet,so only other
options are VESA (no acceleration), or bare metal kernel with KVM instead
(pending Fedora 7) of Xen.

Regards,
Dan.

also ATI/AMD doesn't support beryl/compiz,

I have a ATI card on my laptop and I don't recommend ATI cards to use on 
Linux

Please make sure that you pass on your feedback to ATI.
ATI has a survey where you can give them feedback on their Linux drivers

http://support.ati.com/ics/survey/survey.asp?deptID=894&surveyID=508&...

I've started to "vote with my wallet" - my last two machines were picked
because they had Intel graphics cards - fully supported and Open source.
Everything worked out of the box: Beryl/compix, Xen etc. 

We've got to hope that If enough people communicate this message to ATI
they're be a change.
