> I need some info about the 128 DDR Ati Radeon 9800. Your only option at this stage is to go to www.ati.com, select Drivers and Support from the top nav and follow the links to your video card. Make sure to select the driver appropriate for your XFree86 version (most likely 4.2 or 4.3). Use the wrong one and you'll get a message like "(EE):module mismatch: module's version (x) is higher than the server's (x-y)". To check your XF86 version you could try rpm -q xfree86 in a terminal (not sure about the package name on mandrake) or use Mandrake's package management tool, whatever that is. Once you've installed the correct rpm from ati, run fglrxconfig from a terminal, this will guide you through modifying your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (the main config file for X) including the 2-screen thing. Additionally, you should: cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod ./make.sh #build ati's module source against your system cd .. ./make_install.sh #install the new module shutdown -r now #reboot Bear in mind that you're using spanking new hardware, so your only possible option is to use ati's 'non-free' i.e. non-GPL drivers, since the XFree86 project haven't had time to support the 9800 yet. Linux (and some linux users) may moan at you about tainting the kernel but if you want hardware acceleration it's your only option at the moment. Good luck...if you still get lots of error messages post them and we'll see what we can do.
