Thank you Biswajit,

I've installed the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental... but I only get the 
proper resolution it is 1366 X 768 no 3d no desktop effects. But in 
ubuntu 9.4 64bit  it works like a charm (even radeon proprietor driver 
works fine with 3d and compiz HD effects   ......  then why not with 
fedora ????
