It is assumed that you have completed the [[Installation|installation process]].

==Verify with ATI tools==
If the installation has worked, then any 3D application should work without issue. A simple way to verify without any possibility of failure is to verify the following occurs. Please note that you may have needed to go through [[:Category:Distributions|distribution specific]] process to enable the 3D support.
===fglrxinfo===
<pre>
$ fglrxinfo
display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic
OpenGL version string: 2.0.5804 (8.25.0)
</pre>
===fgl_glxgears===
You can also run the ATI provided application called fgl_glxgears which should show a spinning cube with the venerable glxgears running on each face.

If when you run fgl_glxgears, the cube spins, but is lacking any cogs on the faces, the faces being instead, various shades of blue, and/or you get an error message like:

<pre>
Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer
913 frames in 5.0 seconds = 182.600 FPS
783 frames in 5.0 seconds = 156.600 FPS
X Error of failed request: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
Major opcode of failed request: 14 (X_GetGeometry)
Resource id in failed request: 0x0
Serial number of failed request: 51
Current serial number in output stream: 51
</pre>

==Verify with Linux tools==
===glxinfo===
This command line option should report "direct" rendering.
$ glxinfo | grep direct

(For Debian 4.0, install the mesa-utils package to get glxinfo.)

===Xorg.0.log===
The X.org X server log file also contains useful information to verify installation was successful. It is located on most Linux distributions at <code>/var/log/Xorg.0.log</code> and can be opened by any text editor.

'''You can now move on to [[Configuring|configuring the driver]].'''

Fedora is a free GNU/Linux distribution sponsored by [http://www.redhat.com Red Hat]. It is not Red Hat, but has a similar history. Red Hat does use aspects of Fedora as an incubator for their Red Hat Enterprise Linux products. Please see the [[RedHat_Enterprise|Red Hat Enterprise Linux]] distribution guide for more Red Hat specific information.

== General Status ==
* Repackaged by [http://rpm.livna.org/rlowiki/LivnaSwitcher Thorsten Leemhuis]
* On Fedora 7, the most recent driver (8.39.4) removes the bug for previous (8.38.7) bug which caused Xorg to segfault. There has been no official comment on Fedora 7 support.

==Installation==

*[[Fedora Core 4 Installation Guide]]
*[[Fedora Core 5 Installation Guide]]
*[[Fedora Core 6 Installation Guide]]
*[[Fedora 7 Installation Guide]]
