Catalyst drives this card with F14. Not exactly nicely since I get this "AMD unsupported hardware" watermark. But mostly it's nice and fast. Only misbehaviour is when I watch video in 16 by 9 format then the area outside the format is garbled (my monitor is 4 by 3) but I can live with that. My only concern is that AMD wont synchronise their driver with fedora so I hope mesa-dri-driver will pick up this card soon. -- Erik -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
