The Radeon driver and related stuff has been changing a lot over the last
couple of years. F13 will probably work much better than F11 for your card.
A relatively painless way to test this is to use a live image. You can
see if there is enough improvement to warrant doing the upgrade before
doing it.
After tremendous pain, I finally managed to install F13.
I'm still getting software rendering.
I hate this.
Has anyone *ever* used a Radeon HD 3650 AGP with linux?
If I want hardware acceleration, do I have to get yet another video card?
Is there any reason not to take a sledgehammer to the one I have?
