BaNaNe Posted March 7, 2004 Report Share Posted March 7, 2004 Yes, I was wondering if we will have to install ati's drivers to be able to use mandrake10 with an ati card (radeon9600pro for example)? I ask that because my friend can't use mdk because he can't install ati's driver and me, with my nvidia card, I needn't install nvidia's driver... THX!

SoulSe Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 It is always a good idea to install the official drivers, whether or not it is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 It should do something with the framebuffer device or so, but installing official drivers is really recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiedra Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Somone in here just got his Ati Card using the Vesa drivers in Mandrake 9.2. You should be able to do the same thing in MDK 10, but you are not going to get acceleration. There are official drivers you can get from this link below: http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/r...deon-linux.html Back up your current XF86config-4 before doing the installation.

BaNaNe Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Yes, I know it's recommended to install official driver but it difficult for a noob who can't start X! But you said it is possible with VESA driver? I should try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
