Next, I installed the driver from ati, ran the fglxconfig and X is running just fine. I still have an issue with OpenGL support, which runs in software rendering mode. I contacted ATI about that issue though.
Good luck.
Having purchased a new computer last month and the usage of ATI at work last month, I thought I would get an ATI card. I use a 7500 at work with Fedora core and it works great. I purchased a 9600.
Rule of thumb for me now is to tell people to avoid ATI and Linux like SARS and Mad cow in one.
After three weeks of hell, I finally found on the ATI site that they don't support 3d on most of their hi-end cards. I couldn't even get their driver to compile under my latest kernel. If you search their site, they even state that they won't support linux.
Going with Nvidia based card tomorrow.
I have a ASUS a7n8x-E Deluxe and the latest kernel (2.4.22-1.2140.nptl) for Fedora recognized the SATA drives on boot up as new hardware. I used MD instead of the on-board RAID due to more tools.
