I've got a Radeon 9200 running with 9.2.  I got to the same point as you 
before I realised that Mandrake already has the flgx driver.  I think 
it was XFDrake that gave me the choice of driver.

[newbie] Kernel compiling for Driver

2004-04-06 Thread martin brandt
Hello everyone, 
Im wanting to install my drivers for my ATI Radeon 9200SE ive bought recently 
on my mdk 9.2, and i have downloaded the appropriate rpm, but i need to tailor 
my Kernel to allow the driver to work. Now messing around with Kernel sounds 
complicated and i was wondering if it is actually doable by someone like me 
with little Linux knowledge. Would i be able to do it following instructions? 
Would it take too long? 
 
The error is documented here: http://www.ati.com/support/infobase/4475.html 
 
Thanks in advance.
