monkie Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 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.

sir_max Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 (edited) 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 ;) Edited May 5, 2004 by sir_max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ral Posted May 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 I have kind of given up on getting 3D support for now, unless ATI releases a new driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pain999 Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 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. http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 to be fair to ATI, their drivers do work, i play UT2004 quite often. They're just a bitch to install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoXP Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 There seems to be a solution: click me I did not have the time to try it, when I'm done with it I'll post the outcome... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
