Radeon X1K - Fedora support on
Fedora 7 Rivals Ubuntu's Ease of Use

Posted 06/20/2007 at 12:51:37pm

I have a Radeon x1600 mobility and it works fine in fedora with the ati drivers. Try downloading the ati driver from their website: http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html If that does not work check out my site about fedora 7 I wrote a little how-to for installing the ati drivers. http://pilgrim50.googlepages.com/fedora73 There are also some links to good install guides that are easy to follow and show you how to install codecs and software in fedora. If you have an x1600 it should work fine just like mine did. Just use the ati installer to generate the rpm packages for your Linux distro then use
"rpm -ivv filename" to install each package it generates. Let me know if you have trouble.
