A more irretating thing is that Fedora Core 2 worked Excelent!! The only 
problem there was the TV out and a "second monitor"

The first time after install, I had to enter runlevel 3 to get in the 
noaccel option in the conf file. But now i boot into runlevel 5
I was so angry at "fedora" so i tryed to install suse 9.2 a couple of 
days ago. it identifyed my graphics card as ati (with lost of numbers 
behind it) but in suse it was playing videos, totem was working and so on.
My touchpad was also working!! (but not my mouse!)

But why is this display almost stopping working in fedora 3 when 2 was 
excelent!!!
Fedora without the ability to watch videos... hmmmm
