Let's take a look at the glxgears score.

Before I installed the driver, it was about 300. After I installed the driver, it was about 5000.

Many graphics cards need to be driven to enable 3D desktops. The card driver provided by Fedora 9 has relatively poor functions and is not well developed. Coupled with AMD (ATI)'s perfunctory attitude in Developing Linux drivers, the ATI graphics card driver provided by Fedora is very bad, it is easy to see problems such as the inability to enable 3D acceleration, the display of screen, and the disappearance of the mouse and cursor. Relatively speaking, Livna's graphics card driver is of good quality, and it is specially developed for Fedora, both functional and compatibility are relatively strong.

Fedora 9 adopts the latest xorg, which is suitable for the official driver sources of ATI, but the livna-testing source already exists.

You can go to the mouse now. I have suffered a lot from 3D desktops before. Now I am cautious with the graphics card driver. After all, the source code of the driver is hard to understand.

Install the livna source first, and then

After yum install kmod-fglrx, add the -- enablerepo = livna-testing parameter. Otherwise, the package cannot be found.

Or you can downgrade that xorg-X11 package and install the corresponding old fglrx driver.

After reboot is installed, open a terminal, enter "glxinfo | grep direct", and press Enter. If "Direct rendering: Yes" is displayed, congratulations, the video card driver is running properly.

Currently, 3D desktops are generally implemented in three ways: one is the built-in compiz installed in Fedora 9 by default, the other is the official compiz-fusion, and the third is the unofficial compiz-fusion, with increasing effects, decrease in stability. I installed the second one.
