Some call us Fedora users lab mouse. But it's our feedback which makes new technologies become stable ones that you're using. If one wants a fast and stable Linux, maybe Debian instead of Ubuntu is the best choice. The "3D ACCELLERATION AND DESKTOP EFFECTS" you mentioned is built on a non-free driver and it almost has nothing to do with a Linux distro. I can't understand why you think Ubuntu is better than Fedora in "stability, speed,customizability" . Any reaonable reason? It’s just the Fedora way of life, always trying the newest.

Try changing your OS....in other words, try Ubuntu 10.04. It is faster and more stable that fedora 13 and....btw:I have an Ati Mobility Radeon 4xxx and have no driver installed.And you know what?3D ACCELLERATION AND DESKTOP EFFECTS WORKS IN ANYWAY! Ubuntu and fedora are similar....but Ubuntu will be always better, because of its stability, speed,customizability and pc&user-friendly working. Someone will say ''Ubuntu is for noobs....'' and I'll tell him ''The noob has a great-working-full-featured Os on his machine....what about you?What?Is it crashing?''

It totally slowed down my computer and kept popping up with errors. Has it been this bad for anyone else? The ATI Catalyst is evil for my computer. But you're right, it does have a clean uninstall, and very quick too. Almost like my computer was eager to get rid of it. Didn’t work for me.

However, I just upgraded to the new version (10.04) and didn't like it. It was a little quirky on my computer. So, I decided to try Fedora again. I see that version 13 will be out in a week or so, hopefully the driver works with that. I think Fedora is a more polished OS than Ubuntu and would love to use it. But... I need the 3D drivers for a project I'm working on. I was using Ubuntu because they have a driver that works. However, I just upgraded to the new version (10.04) and didn’t like it.

It says that it's not found... I looked at the fglrx_install.log file and it said something about the binary being compiled for a different kernel version. What kernel version are you guys (that got the driver to work) running? I would put the exact log file here, but I deleted it and uninstalled the defunct driver.

I've just removed them and installed experimental. Will reboot and hope for a better performance. It irritates me that an awesome Distro such as Fedora is limited like this. I had no issue with desktop effects/3d rendering on Ubuntu 9.10 on this machine. Fedora is more my style and It breaks my heart to think i might have to try an alternative distro just to browse pages without my eyes hurting!!!!
