The ati driver is the one you should use on Fedora, that's why it's the default. You do not get 3D acceleration out of the box on that card, r600 3D acceleration is too early to be enabled by default. If you want to try it out, install the mesa-dri-drivers-experimental package. For the slow 2D performance - _how_ slow is it, really? gnome-terminal has never been much of a speed demon. Does it get any faster if you boot with 'nomodeset' as a kernel parameter? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
