Why not try the new microsoft linux 2003? It works In All ATI cards. You can download it from windows XP.
Aw, c'mon, quit throwing the flames around. After a couple of weeks of headbanging, you'd probably be frustrated. Linux isnt for everyone and there is a degree of overselling going on. Read the stuff on the SuSE or Red Hat packaging. Setting up for Linux still requires more research than folks realize. In any case, look on the bright side. A lot of people are now trying Linux whatever their experiences may turn out to be.
Agreed, but it says nothing on the package about 3D. It says that it works. So if X starts and you can work then it does it's job. But when someone comes in here slinging that " But Microsoft works .." crap around when this isn't Windows and ATI doesn't give the same advantages to XFree86 developers that it gives to Windows developers as far as drivers and what not..then I don't want to hear it. I've helped countless people on this list over the years with no payment just the satisfaction that they got their problem solved and were happy about things. I do not care about Microsoft's malware and for her to come here to rant about Linux an say how great MS XP is..no sympathy deserved and none given. If she wanted help and just asked some questions then she would have received it without the vitriol and smart-ass remarks..at least from me. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org ----- If two men agree on everything, you can be sure that only one of them is doing the thinking.
