ATI Driver Installation

I too went through this process pretty much the same as what you have outlined here.

 

I too am stuck with no 3D support (ATI 9800Pro and same Nforce board)

 

I did try re-compiling my kernal but I got it wrong. However the new compile just showed up as a possible boot option in LILO - so it was easy to revert back.

 

If you try and get this to work, please let us know.

HI

 

one question

 

did mdk10 use supermount as a kernel patch??

 

link supermount www.chilehardware.cl/sirmax/supermount-2.0.4-2.6.3.patch.gz

link submount (recommended by another person, but i haven't tried it yet) www.chilehardware.cl/sirmax/submount-0.9.tar.gz <-- i believe this one should be compiled also....

 

because if you download from kernel.org you have to patch with this patch for kernel 2.6.5

 

to apply the patch...

 

inside /usr/src/linux

 

patch -p1 < patch-selected

 

and the do the make {menuconfig|xconfig}

 

well hope that helps you.. it did for me :D

using mdk92 as stated in my sig

 

Bye and Greetings to all ;)

Until ATI thinks people actually use their cards with Linux and 3D apps they are not going to work very hard at it. We need to start bugging ATI to get working on some better support for Linux drivers that support the 2.6 Kernal. I would encourage everyone to email ATI customer support and explain your desire to have some drivers that work already. You can fill out the form from the ATI download page for Linux drivers.
