Mandrake 10 + 9700/9800: 3d Acc Anyone?
Has anyone installed Mandrake 10 community and succeeded in getting 3d acc with a 9700 or 9800? Please share tips?

Go to the ATi site and d/l the relevant drivers?

Are you saying it worked for you?
I tried, but when the step came to modify the kernel numerous dependenies were missing. I'll try again, if someone can confirm it works in the end. Also , if anyone has a link to install instructions used that would be great. |
try that

i got 3.7.6 drivers to install with 0 problems.. except I still had to # out the busid of the card... (I thought it was supposed to be fixed in this version??? :shrugs:)

No luck making fglxgears run with 3.5 under 10.0 CE 2.6 kernel on an ATI 9800 pro OEM.
Installation had to be forced and some message blazed through the screen sating I needed to recomplile something. No 3d accel: glxgears in default screen was about 400fps and fglxgears would not run at all. Glxgears also complained about some missing DRI module. Methinks that the 2.6 kernel in 10.0 CE is not ATI deiver friendly (and vice versa) We probably just have to accept that CE is the bleeding edge and some things are bound to be tricky until the distro becomes final and gets installed in more systems. |

Could you get 3D accel with the 2.6.x kernel? |
I found a way to get 3d acc easy with Linux and a recent ATI card.
1) Install the Knoppix Live CD to HD 2) Run http://kano.mipooh.net/install-radeon-debian.sh scripts Perfect 3d acc, nice Debian system. |

the missing piece of the puzzle was:
insmod nvidia-agp from a post by a contributor named blackpage at linuxcompatible.org fellow newbies, note that he gives specific instructions on how to load the nForce2 specific agpgart. Quote:
