9:57 p.m.
I'm on my third video card.
The first was a radeon.
After I zapped that one, I had it replaced with
an nvidia card because it had AGP and I could find it.
Having cooked or otherwise damaged that one,
I replaced it with a VisionTek Radeon HD 3650.
It was the AGP card I could find.
Knoppix 5.1.0 runs just fine.
I'm using it now.
knoppix@Knoppix:~$ uname -a
Linux Knoppix 2.6.19 #7 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 17 22:01:07 CET 2006 i686
GNU/Linux
knoppix@Knoppix:~$
Fedora 11, not so great.
It never gets to X.
The last messages to the console involve the ethernet connection.
Disconnecting and reconnecting results in more messages.
Alternate consoles show the login prompt.
After logging in as root, I have to run dhclient explicitly
to acccess the internet.
At the suggestion of a friend, I did
yum grouperase 'X Window System'
yum groupinstall 'X Window System'
It didn't help.
Xorg.conf now says I have vesa where I used to say I had nvidia.
What do I need to do to make Fedora work?

No. That command is getting information about how much of opengl is supported
and the hardware manufacturer isn't needed. Though RV635 is the chip that
is the main part of your video card.
You can look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log if you want to see the words ati and
radeon.
Thanks. I should have remembered.

Try install a FPS (such as nexuiz) and you can kill two birds with one stone.
No matter how many frames per second I get out of the card,
it won't replace the joy of manually reducing something's necksize.
On that subject, I think FC11 is still overclocking the card.
How do I tell it not to?
Also, a problem I've had forever seems to be worse with FC13.
With FC13, I only get to see about a quarter of
a character on the left edge of the screen.
In the past, I've tried adjusting the monitor, but eventually gave up.
The problem occurs in both text and graphical modes.

The 3650 uses an RV635 chip. The r600 series recently got 3d support.
I thought for F13 you didn't need mesa-dri-drivers-experimental for 3d on
r600 and r700 chips, but maybe you do. (You did for F12.)
If you try installing mesa-dri-drivers-experimental and restarting X, you
might see some speed up.
There are still things that the 3d drivers don't do on linux, so that even
with 3d support some things won't be as fast as they would be on other OS's.

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.

The radeon stack (why is it called a stack?)
People might call it a stack because there are multiple components
(xorg, mesa, etc.)
seems not to like my Radeon HD 3650.
To get it to work at all, I had to install FC11 again.
Though the card is still being overclocked, all I get is vesa.
Did any version of radeonhd ever work for Radeon HD 3650?

I don't know about the 3650, but my HD 2400 at work would
crash fairly often with the radeon driver on fedora 12
(I'm using fedora 13 radeon now, and so far no crashes).
On fedora 12 I did:
yum install xorg-x11-drv-radeonhd
(I think that was the name), then cobbled up an xorg.conf
file with this driver section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Option "DRI" "off"
Option "AccelMethod" "shadowfb"
Option "NoRandr"
Option "UnverifiedFeatures" "off"
Driver "radeonhd"
EndSection
The radeonhd driver wouldn't work very well either, but at
least it had lots of options I could add to turn off
just about all acceleration and get stable 2D video.
Full details of my fedora 12 experience with this card
are in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541387

I installed FC11 on another set of partitions
and got something that more or less runs.
I made the mistake of not customizing the package list,
so I'm stuck with gnome. Gnome is loud. Gnome is not KDE.
I still can't watch hulu.
I need a flash plugin and cannot remember the magic formula.
Following the bread crumbs didn't help.
Hula probably doesn't look good with vesa anyway.
Fedora is still overclocking the card.

Not sure exactly where you are going with all of this but you should at
least start with the default which is no xorg.conf at all - so maybe as
root, you should just 'mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-saved'
and then reboot and see what happens because I would guess that the
knoppix org.conf you are trying to use is from a much earlier version of
xorg.
What about copying the driver from knoppix?

That was one of the first things I tried,
but I'll try it again.
I tried it again. It still didn;t work.
In Xorg.0.log there is a warning that it is using the preferred frequency,
135 MHz, even though it is greater than the maximum frequency, 130 MHz.
How do I tell it not to do that?

That I could use knoppix demonstrated that the hardware worked.

I tried Xorg -probe
X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
just produced a messy screen. No discernable image.
Here is /root/xorg.conf.new :

Not sure exactly where you are going with all of this but you should at
least start with the default which is no xorg.conf at all - so maybe as
root, you should just 'mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-saved'
and then reboot and see what happens because I would guess that the
knoppix org.conf you are trying to use is from a much earlier version of
xorg.

yum provides '*radeonhd*'

Do I need a radeonhd driver, and, if so,
how do I tell which one will work?
radeonhd has been abandoned and is not being maintained any more. The
radeon stack is the prescribed open source driver for all ATI cards now.
