The raedon driver does work for many of us, myself included, so this has to be one of those "devil in the details" of your configuration, and unless they are sorted out the enhancements that Will Stephenson talks of will not be available to you.
It sort of works. But its dog slow. Google earth is barely usable. Gaming is out. And the ATI distributed driver packages no longer install. The lower numbered Mobility Radeon chipsets are pretty much dependent on Mesa, and its pathetic.
Yeah, the RPMs in the ati driver repository are broken, and the ati driver installer you download directly from the website is a mess. If it helps you, I posted a howto build the RPMs using the OBS instead Its a bit more bandwidth intensive than compiling it yourself, but it results in a cleaner package - the same quality as the ati repository but up-to-date and working. I did this for the recent 10.9 (8.771) driver release and have been enjoying life since. http://masterpatricko.blogspot.com/2010/09/building-ati-fglrx-rpms-for-opens...

This looks very interesting. Will this work for a Mobility Radeon X1400 chipset with the 10.9 driver? I travel with my laptop a lot, and I find that my Android phone is actually faster with Google Earth then the Core 2 Duo using mesa. -- _____________________________________ At one time I had a Real Sig.
