I'm realy excited that you have taken the time to condense this information. I almost have the same setup as you, but I am using grub instead of lilo. I made it to the part where I have to "edit \etc\lilo.conf so your new kernel is the one that is booted with." Is there any way you might be able to give directions on how to do that with grub. I've been looking through the grub docs, and I just feel lost. I'm a new linux user also, and I'm not sure how to find out what the new kernel is named. If you or anyone else out there could help out I realy appritiate it.

Many thanks C+ +Boar & Erol you helped me with your Threads

Instead of radeon-20040208.i386.tar.bz2 i used the newer radeon-20040524.i386.tar.bz2.

I don´t know what you mean with "this might give a problem with libGL.so.1.2 " , with the newer version i don´t get any error message.

The only error message i´ve got was if installing the fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.i386.rpm driver

/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c:2246: warning: initialization from incompatible pointer type

LD [M] /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.o

but it´s running.

glxgears
18778 frames in 5.0second = 3756 FPS its good ?

System:
Shuttle SN45G / AMD XP 3400+ (2500+) / Radeon 9700 Pro

(when window is full visible - default size (in screen 1024*768 I think) )

AMD XP3200+ with ATI 9600XT so I guess have something like 9800 Pro ?

I don't want to hijack the thread but I have the following situation:
Aopen Nforce2 mobo, Radeon 8500 LE and was having no 3D acceleration problem with Fedora core1 2.4 Kernel.
Just installed fedora, Nforce2 drivers, ATI RPM drvers, run fglrxconfif and voila.
Last weekend I installed mandrake10.0 ( from the DVD enclosed with Linux Format magazine ) and I noticed the improvements brought to the Nforce2 chipset using the new 2.6 Kernel: the NIC chip and onboard sound detected and running out of the box. But no 3d acceleration with the Rad8500 after installing the ATI RPMs drivers.
I tried with intarnal or external agpgart but it doesn't make any difference.

So my question is: Do I have in order to have my Rad8500 working with Mandrake 10 follow the ( well detailed ) procedure suggested by C++Boar using on of the r200-xxxxxxxx-linux.i386.tar.bz2 file instead of a radeon-xxxxxx-linux.i386.tar.bz2 file at http://www.freedesktop.org/~dri/snapshots/ ?

I'm following that post with the greatest attention because I ordered a 9600XT and should receive it in a few days.
tia for any suggestion.
I'm surprised the Rage3d.com that is supposed to be the "official Linux ATI forum" doesn't has any post about Mandrake10 and ATI graphic boards.

Yesterday evening I tried the whole process for my rad8500 using the DRI r20.......i386.tar.bz2 but that didn't work.
I just saw that ATI 3.9.0 rpm driver was issued 2 days ago. I'll have a swirl at it.

There is no longer need for so an complex installation to get your ATI running under MDK 10 !

Download the new fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm from ATI

Install it with rpm -Uhv --force fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm

When running fglrxconfig say to "use external AGP_Gart" "y"

At last edit
/etc/modprobe.conf
"install fglrx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fglrx && { /sbin/modprobe nvidia_agp; /bin/true; }"

/etc/rc.d/rc.modules
"/sbin/modprobe fglrx"

reboot your system (because with init 5 the modprobe.conf & rc.modules will not load new)

C++Boar, excellent guide! I'm getting 13841 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2768.200 FPS in glxgears and 2474 frames in 5.0 seconds = 494.800 FPS in fgl_glxgears. Thanks for your help.

Followed Zurg method

and I have the feeling it didn't install properly

1840 frames in 5.0 seconds = 368.000 FPS in glxgears

With a Radeon 9800 pro

/Edit

Not right for sure

fglrxinfo says it's the mesa driver

Just tried the the ATI way didn't work either.

Anyone got a Radeon 9800 pro to work on a A7N8X-X?
a part from the resolution and refresh rate I used all defaults settings in fglrxconfig.

MESA is software rendering, so it is not installed.

Sorry I have just been using mandrake for a day now so I am not sure what you meant.

This what I get when I do a: fglrxinfo

display: :0.0 screen: 0
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
OpenGL version string: 1.3 Mesa 4.0.4

I starting to wonder If I am not doing something wrong in in the fglrxconfig

A part from the agp gart are there other settings I should change from their default in fglrxconfig?

zupermanz - are you root when compilering ? (su before compilering?) - what errors are shown ?

fabre - you do not have working hardware-accelration, but a software driver (MESA).
So your install has failed ... or you have changed some hardwaresettings since your install (if you use mandrake 10CE)

You should check what you have the following.

/etc/modprobe.conf
"install fglrx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fglrx && { /sbin/modprobe nvidia_agp; /bin/true; }"

/etc/rc.d/rc.modules
"/sbin/modprobe fglrx"

Also check your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 to verify that you have
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

and after changes reboot. If that does not work start over.

# Standard VGA Device:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Standard VGA"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"

# The chipset line is optional in most cases. It can be used to override
# the driver's chipset detection, and should not normally be specified.

# Chipset "generic"

# The Driver line must be present. When using run-time loadable driver
# modules, this line instructs the server to load the specified driver
# module. Even when not using loadable driver modules, this line
# indicates which driver should interpret the information in this section.

Driver "vga"
# The BusID line is used to specify which of possibly multiple devices
# this section is intended for. When this line isn't present, a device
# section can only match up with the primary video device. For PCI
# devices a line like the following could be used. This line should not
# normally be included unless there is more than one video device
# installed.

# BusID "PCI:0:10:0"

Then the modprobe.conf

alias eth1 tulip
alias eth0 forcedeth
alias sound-slot-0 snd-intel8x0
install snd-intel8x0 /sbin/modprobe --first-time --ignore-install snd-intel8x0 && { /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss; /bin/true; }
install usb-interface /sbin/modprobe usb-ohci; /sbin/modprobe ehci-hcd; /bin/true
remove snd-intel8x0 { /sbin/modprobe -r snd-pcm-oss; } ; /sbin/modprobe -r --first-time --ignore-remove snd-intel8x0
install fglrx /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install fglrx && { /sbin/modprobe nvidia_agp; /bin/true; }

And finally the rc.modules file
