Fedora Core Fedora Test 3, is, most certainly, as the name says, a test. In my experience there are a few problems and a few bugs that would keep me from recommending it as an everyday desktop replacement, but nonetheless, Fedora is an Operating System (distro) worth watching out.

For 2d: The 9600/9800 are newer than xfree4.3 so they are not supported in that release. They are supported in xfree cvs right now, so we will have to wait for a new xfree release to get 2d support out of the box. This is why xfree should seperate into a core project and a drivers project, with more frequent release for drivers.

For 3d: Ati has released their own drivers that support the 9600/9800. I have not tried them, but I think they would be the best bet for getting a 9600 to work with fedora. Get it from ati's site: http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html
