Has anyone got an ATI Radeon HD3650 or similar running on fc16? I bought this card as I saw a test of it running with Linux but it turned out they were using the proprietry drivers which don't work with fc16.
I have downloaded the mesa drivers
mesa-dri-drivers 7.11.2-1.fc16.i686
mesa-dri-filesystem 7.11.2-1.fc16.i686
To install these, I need dri2proto, which will be installed with
xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.6-12.fc16.src.rpm
This in turn requires some rpm scripts
(compressedfilenames)
(filedigests)
(payloadfileshaveprefix)
(payloadsx2)
and pkgconfig(xextproto) which is installed with another rpm
xorg-x11-proto-devel-7.6-12.fc16.noarch.rpm
There are some other required files which I have searched for on my system and found.
This is all getting very complicated and I'm a bit out of my depth here. I've not been able to get out of fallback mode since installing fc16 – currently running vesa driver. I would really appreciate some help here – am I on the right track? I'm just following the info on mesa3d.org and rpmfind.net
