Hi, I just held Fedora 10 Installfest on which there were some laptops with ATI x1250 video chip. I have mostly experience with Intel video cards which run smoothly on Fedora. This ATI x1250 card worked poorly with default Xorg drivers :( It was slow, some artefcts emerged, video was slow in fullscreen... lots of issues.
We upgraded Xorg and kernel but that didn't help.
Then I enabled rpmfusion repo and installed ATI proprietary fglrx driver. After init 3 and then init 5 it failed to launch X server :( Reboot - and still the same....
Reboot into old kernel without fglrx - X starts with Xorg driver but still old issues are present.
DId anybody get ati x1250 to run ok with defualt Xorg drivers? How?
Did anybody get ati x1250 to run ok with propretary ATI fglrx drivers? How?
Thank you in advance.

I have got fglrx driver run ok on F10, but my video card is x300. I followed the instructions in fedoraforum.org: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=155503
Here is a list of what I have done:
su - 1. rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stab... http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noa...
2. yum install akmod-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx xorg-x11-drv-fglrx-libs.i386
3. mv /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img.backup
4. mkinitrd -v /boot/initrd-`uname -r`.img `uname -r`
5. add this "nopat" to the kernel arguments in /boot/grub/grub.conf
6. reboot
Wish it will help.
