I've been running a dual-boot Mandrake 8.2/Windows system since 8.2 became

has gone bad (GeForce 2 with an ATI Radeon 8500.) I'm using a stock kernel
and without the NVIDIA 3GL drivers installed, I do not startx at boot time.
I can get to lilo and boot in to windows just fine, however, when I try to
boot in to linux, linux-nonfb, or failsafe the system freezes. I've also
tried reinstalling from cd#1.
Any thoughts, any suggestions would be much appreciated.
The Windows side boots fine and found all the new hardware.

All I know about who/what/when and if regarding Linux driver development for
ATI products is from this ATI page: http://www.ati.com/developer/linux.html
I hope you can find something there that will help you since the links to
supported developers pages are there.
I often 'march to a different beat' myself, so I can understand buying a
graphics card from someone other than NVidia, but I don't think I would have
bought an ATI (even though they're a Canajun company, eh. ;-)) until the
driver projects have had a bit more time to gel.

Truth is I wasn't even paying attention to what hardware is supported...
