a spot of driver problems

[darthoctopus]

I know that this is relatively obscure, but does anyone have any experience in configuring ATI Radeon drivers on linux (specifically FC4) and the removal of the ATI fglrx drivers?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After installing FireGL and ATI's (recommended) driver, my glxgears score dropped to 34 FPS when the window was roughly 1280 x 1024. in addition, anything that involved 3d in any form sufferred a performance decrease, with the xscreensaver glx extras going frame by frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If anyone can help me restore the previous open-source "radeon" driver on my computer, I'd be truly grateful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Linux is a superior operating system, it does not need mere inhuman actions such as configuration like lesser operating systems!

Do you have a tool to reconfigure package installs? And how did you install the new/old drivers? rpm? compile? manufacturer download + executable/script?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Debian, I'd use dpkg-reconfigure, I think. And apt, of course. I'm assuming FC4 has similar tools, but I don't know much about it. Try posting in fedora core forum? :)
