New subject: ATI driver experience

Tuesday, 27 December 2005

...
 I'm purchasing a new notebook.  It looks like ATI is about the
only
 display
 choice these days.  I see there are driver packages a livna, including
 x86_64.

 Anyone with recent experience with ATI on Linux?  Works reasonably
 well? 
 Hotkey switching for external display and tv-out supported OK?    
  Hi Neal,
        I just got a Dell D610 with ATI M300 and the livna rpms.
 Tv-out works fine, if you are connected to the TV at boot. You can user
mode switch the video stream between screen and TV with aticonfig.
I didn't try hotkeys.

 The Fedora 3D games don't work: ppracer, bzflag...
 Doom 3 and Quake 4 are fine though.

   For a DVD, the sata drive means I have had to use Dave's test
2.6.15pre kernels.

    Good luck!
