Fedora FC2-T1 on NC8000 or NW8000

[Aldert E. van der Laan]

I am able to get a graphical screen but only with the VESA driver.
The video board is an ATI Mobility 9600 Pro.

This morning I will conduct further testing.

The NW8000 carries the ATI FireGL-T2.

I will send the ID strings to the persons that are developing the
drivers for Fedora and also keep a close eye on the XFree mailing lists.

Aldert.

I have a ATI Radeon 9500 pro card here.. My attempts to use the ATI 
drivers so far arent very good.. Tried all the patches available , but 
the driver doesnt even compile on FC2t1. As I dont need 3D and my card 
is recognized by X, I simply dropped the ATI drivers... Maybe when 
there's a final distro with the 2.6 kernel , the guys from ATI will 
finally release a driver that works...

What is the graphic card of this notebook? Maybe there's the chance that

it will work under other driver, but only in 2D...
