I have no idea about that specific card, but it should be easy to use a
Fedora live media and test it out and see how well it works. ;)

Kevin,
Thanks for your post. It would not work with the FC16 LiveCD, but it
did work with FC17-Alpha LiveCD. 17 is going to be out in a couple of
months so maybe there is some hope for using gnome3 on this HP Pavillon
g7 laptop.
