I GOT IT WORKING... here's how:
Specs:
AMD 1.4ghz Tbird (not that it really matters)
Gigabyte GA-7DXR (AMD 761 chipset)
80g WD drive (boot disk)
2x 40g IBM drives, raid 0 using onboard raid
ATI Radeon 9500pro (using DVI as display)
Here are the assumptions I'm making for this guide:
-Fresh install of RH9 w/kernel sources, GCC, Gnome
1) Update all filesets (ftp.software.umn.edu is usually pretty speedy, but choose your favorite mirror)
2) Ensure that GCC and the newest kernel/kernel source are installed.
3) Download the FireGl drivers from
http://www.schneider-digital.de
4) Unzip the package, and do an "rpm -Uvh --force fgl*.rpm"
5) The rpm will automatically compile a custom kernel module for you, but you need to have GCC and the kernel source installed.
6) Run "fglrxconfig"
7) Edit /etc/X11/XFree86Config-4, and remove only the line that contains "BusID" (near bottom). I'm guessing this will make the adapter auto detect which display it is...
It had to be way easier than we were making it, didn't it?
