I have a 9700 Pro working with Debian unstable. I converted the .rpm to .deb using alien and installed. then I used the firegl config app to generate a config file and it just fired right up.
it does feel (no benchmarks) slower than my gf4 4400 (which I currently have back in my machine), both 3d and 2d... but the ati's picture quality is nicer. All in all, the ati drivers are pretty crappy. -Gabe On Sat, Feb 22, 2003 at 10:16:41PM -0800, Ryan wrote: > I'm currently running Red Hat 7.2 with the latest 'up2date' packages (latest > kernel included).
