I have HP dm4t 1100 (Intel + ATI 5470)

I have not tried Fedora 15, only Ubuntu 11.04 and OpenSuse 11.4 with 
Gnome3 installed from repositories (as I recall Fedora 15 is also based 
on Gnome 3).

Gnome 3 and fglrx are not fully compatible. When you properly configure 
it will give you psychedelic colors on top panel and sometimes garbage 
for icons.  Even if this does not bother you, it kinda works but for me 
everything seemed slower than the opensource radeon driver.

Last time I tried it two months ago was with Catalyst 11.3 or 11.4 and 
it had these problems, and this is a known bug. I don't know if it is 
fixed in new versions. So I would recommend to use the standard 
opensource radeon driver in Gnome 3.
