Guest 5KIDMA Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 hi all i am only new to linux so please go easy on me. i have been trying to install the ati drivers for my video card (raedon 9200) i have got the source installed and all the other software i need. i've spent the last 2 days fiddling around eventually i did a fresh install and got only the packages i needed to install these drivers but i still get stuck on the same error.

capnkirby Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 While I am not sure about the cause of your specific error, the 9200 is not "supported" by the current ATI drivers. Capn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 5KIDMA Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 well yes it does because i lifted this from the ati website ATI Desktop product family support The ATI Proprietary Linux driver is designed to support the following ATI desktop product family: RADEON™ X800 (AGP only) RADEON™ 9700 series RADEON™ 9800 series RADEON™ 9500 series RADEON™ 9600 series RADEON™ 9100 series RADEON™ 9200 series RADEON™ 8500 series RADEON™ 9000 series Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 rage3d.com is a good place to go for help with ATI drivers - I've found it useful when researching them in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
