sorry, don't remember who started this thread so I will put this here.
Be careful what manufacturer's 9200 you get as some are hardware modified boards that work ok but... and can even have problems even with Radeon's driver updates, you may need their own manufacturer's version of the updated drivers. Also check what voltages your motherboard want sig's to work at if your going to buy one as there is 0.8 / 1.5, 2.5, 3.5 all available with the 9200 range over different brands and models. This has been found even with windows running.

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone is running the new Radeon 9200 card in their machine and how did you get it configured?

Any help is welcomed to get this baby working with SuSE. It does come up in VESA mode, but I was unable to get a full kde boot out of it. From what little I have seen so far it appears quite speedy. :o)

For sure watch out for a "TigerDirect.com" 9200 series with 128M DDR mermoey. It is known as a connect3D Readeon 9200 with ATI all over the box. Made in China and has no fan. It has a heat sink covering the chip so it is rather difficult to check the chip information. It is from " www.connect3D.com " and is 4 and 8X. Ours works in VESA only no 3D.
We bought 2 of them only to find out that neither one will work fully. They seem to work in Winblows but fail in Linux so they must be the NEW WinVid devices. ATI better clamp down on this problem or it will be the last ATI card I will ever buy. -- 73 de Donn Washburn __ " http://www.hal-pc.org/~n5xwb " Ham Callsign N5XWB / / __ __ __ __ __ __ __ 307 Savoy St. / /__ / / / / / / /_/ / \ / / Sugar Land, TX 77478 /_____/ /_/ /_/__/ /_____/ /_/_\ LL# 1.281.242.3256 a MSDOS Virus "Free Zone" OS Email: n5xwb@hal-pc.org Info: http://www.knoppix.net
