Hi No, I think you cant use the 8.2 drivers on your 9.0 mdk, but you can grab the source tarballs, your kernel source (you should have that on the install cd) and basically compile the driver (kernel part and lib part) and install. You need the kernel source to compile the module for the kernel, you do not need to recompile the kernel :-) Then make sure you allow the designation of IRQ to the Video adapter from your BIOS settings. If everything goes well, you should be accelerated within a couple of hours (my box is a PII 333 celeron) so it does take a good 30 or so minutes to compile everything i needed.
