hey im running dual boot wxp with mandrake 9.1 and i have a radeon 9500 pro...
everything works fine except for 3d in linux, the card is so slow its a slideshow... so a couple months ago i decided to get ATI drivers but they didnt really work well or at all and someone recommended i tried the FireGL drivers... those didnt work either...
now that ATI officially has a driver set for mandrake 9.1 i tried installing it but it says i have a conflict with something else (xfree something or other) and it wont install.
im guessing its the older firegl drivers, but thats just a guess.
i have xfree 4.3 and i downloaded the right drivers from ATIs site...
can anyone offer any solutions? or should i just format my linux partition and start over? i havent really done anything important in linux other than play around so appart from the time hassle i wouldnt mind doin the latter...
peace!
