Radeon 9600 agpgart/fglrx and gerneral 3D questions

jawaking00 · 03-07-2004, 01:04 PM

Ok, I know this has been done to death, but I still am unable to get my ATI Radeon 9600 Pro working under Mandrake 9.2. I've downloaded all of the kernels, I'm trying to use the 3.2.8 drivers from http://www.schneider-digital.de/html...nload_ati.html

Everytime I install though it gives me the same error that I don't have a kernel tailored specifically for my setup. I've run the make.sh and make_install.sh to update everything so that hopefully shouldn't be a problem.

My exact hardware is:
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
Athlon 1600+ XP
ECS K7S5A mobo with SIS735 chipset
768 mb RAM

The mobo doesn't support 8x agp, so I really can't imagine that the agpgart thing would be a huge problem.

Could someone please help me?

you need the kernel sources for your kernel (probably included with distro). your distro will probably install them in the /usr/src/linux area and the fglrx setup should find them and build you a tailored module for your specific kernel.
