I have a hd6970. I was using the stock nouveau drivers and X 1.10. I tried the drivers directly from ATI's site. They were dog slow, even more glitchy, and took forever to get working. Hey, at least audio over dvi started working. Catalyst is truly an abomination. Then I used the the ati drivers from the fedora repo, and, strangely, they worked a little better, but still slower than nouveau. Now, in addition to all of the other wacky things, the top bar in gnome3 is a different color gradient every time i log in. I would say there's something up with the card except for it's brand new and everything works flawlessly in windows. another issue came up where none of the changes to xorg.conf are persistent. Fedora or ati, not sure which one, decides to overwrite everything on reboot. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to give them try just for kicks. I think I'm just going to give up and get a gtx560. Never had any issues with nvidia in the past and have had nothing but problems with both sets of radeon cards I use. could It have something to do with multiple monitor setups?
