Mandrake 9.2 and ATI driver problem
Hey guys, i got tired of messn with debian so i got Mandrake 9.2
installing was a breeze, and was all rdy to go.
I tried to play a game (tuxracer) and noticed it was choppy and the sound was weird too, so i figured duh, probly need the radeon drivers.
wet to ati's site picked linux and it gave me 3 options
xfree68 4.1.0 4.2.0 4.3.0
tried all 3 of em and all 3 of em dont install cause after i hit ok on th first window a second one pops up sayen that there was a issue or incompatibility with a file.
I read some manuals and it sais i might have to get an update of xfree86, si i went to their download servers, and looked around found a few version and installed one, after i went through all the console stuff it went back to the command line, i switched back to GUI but still same error, i thought maybe i need to reboot, after i was back at the logon screen for mandrake my kboard wasned working i had to restart the xserver in the options mode, then it worked now i enter my logon and pw get a black screen and get put back into the logon screen, now im thinking maybe the version of xfree86 i got isned compatible and now it wont launch.
So now i got 2 problems, 1. how do i get it back to the base xfree86 so i can boot the gui again, and 2. how do i go on about installing the radeon drivers?
Anyone in here have a ATI card and uses mandrake? if so PM me and lemme know how ya did it.
