start This page grew out of a conversation on the Usenet comp.os.linux.hardware newsgroup. It can be frustrating for Free Software users to buy a new graphics card because there is very little information available about 3 D/ Open GL graphics support and performance in the Free Software community. Some users opt to install proprietary graphics card drivers because of the limited support available in current free software drivers. X. Org includes Direct Rendering Infrastructure ( DRI) support for a variety of 3 D graphics hardware but often doesn't support every feature or doesn't offer performance as fast as that of the proprietary drivers. This website was created for those of us who prefer to use only Free Software or Open Source software. It provides information about video cards with 3 D acceleration support and benchmarks to give an idea of their performance. We also provide performance information for cards that rely solely on software emulation for 3 D support. ATI Radeon HD 4670 Based on our results to date, this card represents the highest 3 D/ Open GL performance currently available in the Free Software community. DISCLAIMER Please see the FAQ before basing a purchasing decision on this recommendation, particularly if you have very specific 3 D acceleration needs. How you can help the free software community improve 3 D ( DRI) support The X. Org Wiki Radeon driver page needs to be updated with more information about what hardware is supported, who maintains the code, links to the GIT or CVS archives, and any other helpful info you can think of. Anyone is welcome to sign in and edit the page. See the X. Org nv page for ideas. The X.

Unless you update your drivers regularly you may face hardware performance issues. To check your drivers you should either: A. Manually verify every device on your system for driver updates B. Automatically scan all your device drivers using Driver Scanner RECOMMENDED: We recommend you download Driver Scanner. This tool will allow you to run a free scan listing all the outdated drivers on your system.
Your x1100 has always had 32 Mb onboard dedicated memory. The motherboard BIOS was set to let the video card use system memory up to 128 MB. ie 32 MB on card and take 96 Mb from your system Ram. Now, Windows 7/ Vista it'd be much appreciated. :cool: Thanks in advance. I'm using FC9, BTW. Hlingler25th July 2008, 05:12 AMHello: I don't think that your chipset is supported by the ATI proprietary driver, but you can have a look yourself: The open-source 'radeon' driver that comes with Fedora should automatically be used. Have you done anything to configure it? Also, please post copies of your /etc/ X11/xorg.conf file and /var/log/ Xorg.0.log, so we can see what's going on with X11/ Xorg. V Max Is Bored28th July 2008, 03:25 PMSorry it took so long to get back to you, but while i was out i found more issues. Often while booting up my screen gets chopped up and skips around kind of like if the tracking wasn't set proplery on a VCR, and none of my theme packs work properly, though i know they've installed. It just goes to a white screen, where if i hit the logout key on my keyboard, and close the apps, i can log out and log in again. I have not configured the open source driver. Here's my Xorg.conf Xorg configuration created by pyxf86config Section Server Layout Identifier Default Layout Screen 0 Screen0 0 0 Input Device Keyboard0 Core Keyboard End Section Section Input Device keyboard added by rhpxl Identifier Keyboard0 Driver kbd Option Xkb Model pc105 Option Xkb Layout us End Section Section Device Identifier Videocard0 Driver radeon End Section Section Screen Identifier.
