Hmm...I have an 8500LE, and it's running great at 2500+ FPS on FC1.
Checked my rpm database, and it looks like I did it with
fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0. What did you try to get it working David?
For reference, I'm also running FC1 on a couple of ThinkPad A31P laptops
(Radeon RV200 LX [Mobility FireGL 7800 M7]), and manage to get 1100+
FPS, but only by dropping the $$ to replace XFree86 with Xig's
(www.xig.com) Summit X server. There are some things compiled using
specific Mesa features that don't work, but it made the overall X
experience *much* better.
