[newbie] Radeon 9000, xwindows and Mandrake 9.0

[Marty McFly]

I just installed Mandrake 9.0 on my computer, which has a Radeon 9000 agp card in it. During the install, when the installer came to the point of configuring the video settings, that process failed with some error message, something like "invalid configuration". I tried to select "Radeon" several times, all with the same effect. (One would think I'd learn that if a computer does something one way once, most likely it will do it the same way again.)

I ended up clicking through that process, thinking it was configuring the usage of "vesa" video. When Mandrake boots it boots just fine up until it tries to start xwindows, and that process exits, so no xwindows.

I tried running xf86config. That said something like "there is a correct configuration, but there is information missing in the xf86PciInfo.h file"

I checked the ATI site, and couldn't find any driver for the 9000 cards. Only 8500 and below.

Anyway, I'm wondering if:
1. Radeon 9000 cards work with Mandrake
2. Do I need to reinstall (run through the installation process again), or is there some configuration I can do in the text files? or just wait for a while

My computer (just put together):
Asus KT400 mb
Athlon 1.667 Ghz
Radeon 9000 agp card

Thanks,
Bryant
