Linux and AMD Fusion

Should I expect any problems installing Linux (Ubuntu) in a AMD Fusion netbook?



TIA

It depends really, I don't know if AMD has released drivers for them.

Hopefully the ati's open source driver improve the last time I use them (lack of downclocking/no 3D support). I am planning to get the x120e .

Your best bet at this point is to try 2.6.38-rc7

fglrx 11.2 should work fine on Fusion. I'll get my x120e soon so I'll try it out.

2.6.38 came out in the wee hours, I've built it but haven't had the chance to reboot yet. I don't have any AMD hardware to run it on but there's an article here: [Phoronix] AMD Fusion Falters With Linux 2.6.38 Final
