Display in Fedora 8 fixed with ATI Radeon driver
Recently i installed Fedora 8 on my machine. All went smoothly and i was able to login to the improved KDE for the first time. But to my disappointment the display was all messed up. Poor colors, fonts etc.. This is what i did to fix it.
First i downloaded the display driver for my motherboard. My configuration was Linux x_86 (Fedora 8), Integrated/Motherboard and ATI Radeon Xpress 200 and i downloaded the driver from here.
The driver installation went on fine and i rebooted the system. But to my surprise that didn’t fixed the problem. After searching and browsing few forums i got the solution. You need to run following command after installing the driver
aticonfig –initial -f
And after restarting X, display got fixed.
Hello Abbas,
Probably u could solve my problem. I am facin the same problem as u mentioned in your blog regarding radeon express 200 and fedora.
My system faces the same display problems.
The link u provided does not provide driver for Radeon xpress 200 but provides x300.
can this be used.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can surely try it. I think the nearest model number’s driver should work.
