ok, what ati do you have? there is a thread about problem devices at the top of the forum you might read, a post in there about ati devices with a good link.

if it is something like an hp laptop you might have to wait a little bit for full support as they are not ready yet with something...

i think that a developement kernal now has hardware support(3d) but i havent tried it yet so i dont know.

anyway follow the link i pointed you to there is a list of supported devices.

ok, sorry

for late :> but i had a problem with my comp...anyway. My card is ATI 9000pro HIS. I know about those drivers on linux web site, i tried them too. But they are for XFree86 4.2 only. Mandrake 9.1 has 4.3. And they didn`t want to work

. So maybe other sugestions, also they say that drviers on ATI site are for 2d only :|. Damn it`s hard to hava ati card on linux

. Although i still think that ATI roxxx :>

Best regards
