Which FireGL for ATI Radeon 9600 Pro


I have gone to the ati pages and tried to figure out how to combine two variables, which are:[list=1][*]ATI Radeon 9600 Pro[*]Red Hat Linux 9.0[/list=1]
Can anybody tell me which FireGL version I need?

Oh, and what do I do with the rpm I get? Would just installing it like a sw package do it? Or do I have to modprobe or something - or change X configuration (how)?

Just go over to ATI's website and at the top of the home page there is a choice for "download drivers". This will take you to a screen with three boxes in the middle, first box select "Linux", second box select "graphics drivers" and third box select the card you have. The next screen will have the driver file you need to download in a tar.gz format along with instructions on how to install the driver and configure your system.

did someone just say duh!?

Well, I did. It was there and I couldn't see it, somehow the FireGL had gotten hardcoded in my brain...

live and learn!
