Hey all! I've been trying to get my ATI Radeon 9200 to work for the past week now. I posted a thread on the newbie forum (
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=225492), but I haven't been able to get it to work still. I apologize ahead of time if I'm posting too frequently on this, but I thought it might be better to post this in the hardware section. I promise, this'll be the last thread I start about it. I read the tutorial on getting the proprietary driver to work, and it said to try patching the driver if you've got an AMD processor. I just so happen to have one, but I can't get the patch to work. I think maybe I'm just doing something stupid wrong with it. I have the patch as:
[root@localhost root]# more *.patch

/* the kernel already does provide a fix for the AMD Athlon

(AMD claimed that CPU cache behaviour for such pages is not
specified.)
and, when I run the patch, it says:

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:

As I've said on my other threads, any help would be very greatly appreciated.
