[Flightgear-devel] drivers
I have purchased a new Dell laptop which has an ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3670 vido card installed. I've placed FEDORA 11 (32 bit) on it and downloaded Flightgear which fails to run. (I also tried the Fedora 11, 64 bit version with the same result) Problem is that the drivers that I have do not support hardware accel. I've downloaded what I think is the correct driver installation package from ATI, but after installing it I lost the video display! (What I have is ati-driver-installer-9-5-x86.x86_64.run .) I uninstalled it (with some difficulty) and now have the display back, but (of course) Flightgear still is inop. Has anyone had any luck in getting this card to work?

Re: [Flightgear-devel] drivers
Have you tried using the the proprietary FGLRX driver from rpmfusion? I don't have this card myself, so i can't verify whether it works. It's the first thing to pop to mind tho. BTW, this should have probably been sent to the flightgear-users mailinglist... Regards, Stefan 2009/7/16, James J.
