heh... okay... ATI instructions suck...

Download the source for whatever kernel you are running...it should be 2.4.22-21
type uname -a

ie kernel-source-2.4.22-21mdk.i586.rpm

Install that
get out out X so you are just at a command line prompt and type

rpm -ivh --force fgrlx(whatever ati bin rpm is)

It will build a custom module for 9.2
then run fglrxconfig

REBOOT!

Hopefully it works!

Cheers,

Gary
