Notes and Observations:
The modem was not tested because it was not detected by any of the distributions tested and suitable drivers were not located.
Wireless support was not tested because it was not detected by any of the distributions tested and suitable drivers were not located.
The testing presented within this report was completed by using each distributions generic VESA driver for the integrated video device.
ATI® provides a specific video driver (fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0.i386.rpm) for the Mobility Fire GL T2 via their website (www.ati.com). It is recommended to first uninstall the existing libGL installation (e.g.: rpm -e --nodeps XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.3.0-35.EL).
