I have ati RS485 (Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP) and it has lots of issues with the fglrx. In partucular the fglrx has problems with the 2.6.25 kernel. I tried the f9 live-kde system and used the xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.192-rc2. See my post here <a href="http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11148">http://www.phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11148</a> Now everything is ok but I still have f8 because of the kde. I'm waiting for the 4.1 release. In the mean time I decided to recompile the xorg-server-1.4.99-902 for f8 but it has so many dependancies. So i gave up. And there are other packages (in connection with xorg-server) that has to be recompiled for the f8. So I'm not sure if it's worth the effort to do such backporting. if you really want to try it, here is the list of the packages that I tried with the f9-live: mesa-libGL-7.1-0.37.fc9.i386 mesa-libGLU-7.1-0.37.fc9.i386 mesa-libOSMesa-7.1-0.37.fc9.i386 mesa-dri-drivers-7.1-0.37.fc9.i386 glx-utils-7.1-0.37.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.4.99.902-3.20080612.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-utils-7.3-3.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-utils-7.3-3.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.8.0-18.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-drv-vesa-1.3.0-15.20080404.fc9.i386 xorg-x11-server-common-1.4.99.902-3.20080612.fc9.i386 I don't know. It is so much work in order to make the latest ati driver work in the f8 and have dri and 3d. <div class="gmail_quote">2008/6/30 Adam Jackson <<a href="mailto:ajax@redhat.com">ajax@redhat.com</a>>: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">On Fri, 2008-06-27 at 11:28 +0200, Joshua C. wrote: </div><div class="Ih2E3d">> Can someone backport some of the F9 packages to F8?

There's just too much churn happening to keep up with it. Mesa is particularly problematic since it has complex build interdependencies with the X server itself. I hope to be able to change this stance at sonme point in the future, but F9 is really the first release where I might feel comfortable starting to do that. If you have specific problems that are fixed by updating to newer packages, we can investigate either backporting the fixes or updating the driver. - ajax -- fedora-devel-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-devel-list@redhat.com">fedora-devel-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list</a> </blockquote></div>
