WARNING: This is only true for the V3400 (which is an
rv530, equivalent to
the Radeon X1600), not the V3600 the OP was considering
buying (which is an
rv630, equivalent to the Radeon HD2600). The V3600 does NOT
have 3D support
without proprietary drivers. See
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon
for details.

... which makes them a bad choice for Fedora.

Hi,
How about the ATI Fire GL V7600 512MB,Dual Monitor DVI Capable graphics card? Same
issues, or worse?
I really don't care about 3-D support: don't quite know what to do with it:-(
Best,
Trotter
