Install laptop driver.

[ixthe3rd]

I have an ASUS K42DY laptop with RADEON HD6470M 1GB Graphics Card. On the details it says that it is using VESA: SEYMOUR. How do I install the correct driver on my laptop if there's any? thanks!

By default you're using the free radeon driver. If you want to install the ATI proprietary driver try to add rpmfusion repository and

yum install kmod-catalyst

I followed this and on the installation it says complete. I rebooted my machine and it still says that it is using the same driver. How do I enable the ATI driver?

It is automatically enabled when you reboot the machine. Try

dmesg | grep -i fglrx

It doesn't really matter what it says on the Gnome info page. Seymour is just the nickname for your graphics chip.

I see, thanks for that information. I'll go ahead and try this.
