Description of problem: fglrx/vendor proprietary not installed for ATI Radeon HD 4870 and earlier cards Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use XFdrake to set the video server. 2. pick ATI Radeon HD 4870 and earlier cards and note only the radeon driver is installed. If that is because AMD/ATI no longer supports 4870 and earlier cards then the errata document needs to warn users that video performance may be three to four times slower. example teapot Frames Per Second results on my wb node. teapot_wb_2011 134/188 FPS teapot_wb_mga2 183/186 FPS teapot_wb_mga3 51/55 FPS Getting about 53 FPS average on wb2 RV710 [Radeon HD 4350] GPU R700 mtv RS780L [Radeon HD 3000] wb RS880 [Radeon HD 4200] GPU R700 nodes. :-(
