Geez. Sorry to say that ATI doesn't have GNU/Linux drivers for mobile graphic cards. You better stick with the generic driver that comes with the OS.

oh really bummer!!
so anyway i can make it go any faster the os find the it as a 9600
but i cant even run the fre game 'tux racer' that comes with the fedora core its like 1 frame per second

????

thanks Matthew

Also, take a look at the ATI Linux faq page.

Sorry to say that you can't. The default driver that comes with the OS is not optimized for openGL. You're gonna be stuck with the 1-frame per second gameplay till ATI releases a driver for Mobility Radeon.

Mathew's post is over a year old, so I doubt that he is still around. However, nice link!
