In my experience, and a few others I have helped (Mandrakeclub I think), Mandrake 8.2 and Mandrake 9.0 don't have a working X configuration out-the-box on a Radeon, and no newbie (maybe we need a new term, such as new customer ;-)) would be able to get it working, and would probably change distros (Rh 7.3 and 8.0 worked fine, with DRI) or revert to Windows. Even Knoppix had working DRI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i have a radeon aiw 7500 that works (as a video card) with 9.0 nothing else does but...... does anybody have a Radeon and has confirmed that the tv stuff (current GATOS or ??) does work?? bonus points if you have an rpm
