You may find your ATI graphics card not as easy to get working as your nvidia.
Hmmm...
Should I consider a different distro? Will I have trouble in with an ATI card in general?
The desktop effects, though unnecessary, are very slick.
Anybody else have any suggestions, or comments?
No problem with my ATI Radeon Mobility HD 2600 here. Just download the drivers from ATI and install. They're not included with the distribution because they are closed source.
I'm using Fedora Linux 8 (Werewolf) x86_64 on a HP Compaq 8510P business laptop. It installed okay, but still doesn't have the power management, driver support, and ease of use that Windows XP has on the same laptop. (For instance, I still can't use DVI out (on dock) only DVI.) I'll stick with Windows until Linux becomes less of a pain in the ass, or until Windows becomes more of one. I will be upgrading to F9 when it comes out in a couple of days though.
