I know I had issues with my chipset and setting up the 3d acceleration. What chipset is your motherboard? Also what do you get with glxgears? Also when you run glxinfo do you see Direct rendering on or off?

this is what ati posted:

.

if you're using the newest drivers the problem lies elsewhere. I got the 9800 working on rh9

I forgot: I did uninstall the mesa package with the --nodeps option but I'm not sure if this is necessary. my direct rendering wasn't enabled even with the mesa package uninstalled - it was a chipset (VIA A7V8X KT 400) issue.

Did you get it working then? If not let me know or further up on this post there should be directions how to set it up for the KT400.

jep, it's working. thanks anyway (see the last line of post #92)

Where can I find those drivers that were released on october the 13th? (if thats what it said in german, I don't know that language so well). I can't find it on their homepage

Blinkeye, how do you go about removing the Mesa drivers exactly.

got this from the installation help of ati's homepage:

rpm -e --nodeps XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.2.0-72 (substitute your version of the Mesa library) and after that rpm -Uhv <ati_package_name>.rpm

you could alternatively use rpm -i --force <ati_package_name>.rpm.

see installation instruction for further information (installation instruction)

@ setlec_seta

you for sure have the same problem with your video card that I and many others had. your card is supported and you may set it up to work perfectly, all you have to deal with is a issue with you motherboard (a7v8x - I do have the same model). read further up this thread and you should get enough information to know what you have to do.
if you still have any question ask them and they will be answered.
btw.: infos about your distro wouldn't harm

damn, I just noticed, that you can't install it. well, see the installation instruction from ati (I gave a link further up).

Blinkeye where is your card detected at, I have a 9800 pro and it is detected at PCI 2.0.0.
All of the driver files seem to be perfectly in place even running the fireglcontrol application shows all the correct information apart from the openGL information is still Mesa and the transfer mode is pci.
Do you need to install a seperate agp driver for your motherboard. I was under the impression that you didnt.
