Kiran,

Your ATI Radeon 9250 has been removed from the mainline fglrx display drivers (as of 8.28.8). However, the open-source drivers should work great for that card. Thus the drivers are built-in to Fedora Core 6. Do you have a display yet? Otherwise, where are you loosing the display?

hello sir
thanks for replay. yea i think u r right my card is supported by fc6. but i didn't get display. as after booting it tries to give display the screen just become dark black. and after that just nothing happen i have to restart system.

It could possibly be something with detecting your EDID.

What is the output of:

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

[kiran]

by giving command
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE

AIGLX is not supported by the fglrx drivers at this time and should be disabled.
