Hi all,
How to compile on ATI Driver 11.6 HD Radeon 5400 Series on Fedora 15 with kernel info: Linux r00t 2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686.PAE #1 SMP Mon Jun 13 19:55:27 UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Thanks

11.6 is as bad as before when used with gnome-shell, so stay clear.

yes 11.6 is the same as 11.5 with gnome shell

I just got Fedora 15 Installed.

I have a ATI 5650 switchable to an Intel card (inheritted from the i5 processor)

How am I suppose to approach this? (BTW I'm totally fine with completely deactivating the ATI card, just i can't do it in my BIOS)

Using GNOME shell

Also I can't use the switchable mode in the BIOS, or else the computer won't boot. There are a bunch of messages, mentioning radeon and everest. Where can I find the log file and post it?

Installed the driver. But I am getting an "Unsupported Hardware" message at the lower right corner of my screen. I tried using Ksnapshot but it doesn't show in the screenshot. Has AMD written on it with the message below it.
Edit: Forgot to mention which card I have. Its Radeon HD 6790.

Don't bother asking here as it is a waste of time, ati needs to fix this issue.
Has anyone filed a bug report with ati?, if not this issue will be around for another 18 months or longer

Maybe from now on I will not buy a used laptop ATI graphics card. I hate the very family and ATI!

Why would it? as ATI have made no effort to fix their crappy driver.

I have the HIS HD 4350 iFan Native HDMI 512MB (64bit) DDR3 AGP. No driver installed in any way will work so far. Once I install the driver and restart I get a blank/black screen. I have tried several distros. I am starting to think that the HD 4350 in AGP form is not supported by any drivers.
