Except that it's broken on 3.2.9 and later kernels.

Kevin,

Thanks for posting the bug report.  I have been chasing a problem with a
"ATI Technologies Inc Device 9648"  Do you know if the support of these
types of cards will be incorporated into the Fedora repositories or are
there opensource problems that prohibit their use.  Maybe we need to
come up with an 'opensource' sticker that the manufacturers can use.

Greg

As long as the software itself falls under a license permissible for the Fedora Project, it should be alright. There are cases, however, where projects fall under a permissible license but depend on or contain modules which are not permissible in Fedora. An example of this is VirtualBox.

 

Catalyst driver's performance is total mess. Open source one is better IMO
