Nor is the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro completely supported yet. Manufacturers are wont to support the highest percentage of users with early production hardware, which in this case means MS users.

Sharrea; It's good that you managed to get things running satisfactorily. However... You seem to be under the mistaken impression that a Radeon 9700 Pro is an NVidia card. It is _not_; it's from ATI. The drivers you suggest won't work. At all. The drivers she needs for that card are in the contrib directory on the mirrors; i.e: ati2. Or from source forge gatos project page for the latest versions. The contrib versions are from mid March. (As an aside, and not intended as a hi-jack of the thread.) I'm helping my son install Mandrake 9.1 this weekend, and since he has a motherboard that uses the N-Force2 chip-set, (Asus A7N8X I believe) *and* a Radeon 9500 Pro graphics card, I will probably have a worse headache than I do now. _Two_ separate graphic related modules in the same kernel build? Yech! We'll see. Even KNOPPIX 3.2 won't work correctly in that environment. I'll let the list know (In my own thread. If anyone cares.) if I manage it, and what was required; or if I end by launching the box out of a window. <g> Or worse. ;-) Regards; C. -- Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo (cooked) 13:47:25 up 24 days, 5:51, 3 users, load average: 0.01, 0.05, 0.06 If they can make penicillin out of mouldy bread, they can sure make something out of you. -- Muhammad Ali
