Radeon 9600 Pro


Recommended Posts

Okay so ATI provided drivers for the Radeon 9600 Pro but has anyone got it working yet? I gave up on linux completely a few months and one of the reasons was because I just could not get my graphics card working properly. Does anyone have a Radeon 9600 Pro and got it working perfectly yet?

I have a Radeon 9800 Pro and it works. It's no where near as easy as the nVidia drivers but ATi are getting there.

Try this guide, it should help you out.

Thanks BananaMan.. Does the driver support kernel 2.6.1 does anyone know or doesn't it matter? Like I said I haven't done anything with linux in months..

I don't know, I'm fairly wet around in the ears in Linux myself. I believe you'd be fine in using 2.6.1 though, but don't take these words as gospel. :)

mahiles - yes, it works fine in 2.6.1, though it may need patching (not sure if latest one still does).

I found it to be just as easy as nvidia, but then I'm using gentoo, so all I had to do was emerge ati-drivers :)
