Well I gave up on SuSE I could not get my ATI card or my printer working. So now I am on Mandrake 10. So far my printer us woking, I have Mozilla installed (with Flash Plug-In even). I am downloading AAO for Linux for a ATI 3D test.

Where is a good IRC clinet for Linux?

Well, AAO still does not load.

I was getting
"XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". Couldn't set video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual

However, the Module DRI is listed for loading and Mandrake says the ATI Radeon is 3D enabled.

I can not load the ATI drivers from their web site since it seems I have to run make.sh, and I do not have /usr/local/linux. I believe this is some kind of Kernel re-build.

Perhaps it is just a AAO Linux port issue and I should try glxgears and glxinfo. I assume just from a prompt with su status.

I am just about to give up and assume that I do not have the smarts for Linux...

to test your 3d system you can just run glxgears and glxinfo.

you need a kernel module AND a OpenGL driver to make it complete.

Odie, Mandrake 10 doesn't install the kernel source by default. You can install it easily from Mandrake Control Center > Software Management > Install > Search for 'kernel-2.6.xx.blablabla-source' package (or something like that).

Here's the article I was talking about: http://www.rage3d.com/content/articles/atilinuxhowto/

Looking at that now. Thanks Crowze.

Crowze, did find the Software Management area. But I can not seems to find a way to get the darn kernel :(

Edit:
Sweet Jesus, I found the darn thing and got the source on my HD!

^ This is the OpenGL Software renderer. If that line ever reads ATI something, and glxgears runs at a few thousand fps, then you should have it.

Now that you have the kernel (and hopefully the correct version) you should be able to compile the ATI Kernel module without much further ado. This is about the equivalent of a Windows Graphics card driver. The other part, the OpenGL driver and DRI interface, are the part that actually makes it possible for X11 Software to access the 3D accelleration in a standard way, sort of like Direct3D does.

Unfortunately i don't know much about Mandrake (If you would ask me, i would probably just say it sucks) or ATI (since i run NVidia cards).

So before i start rambling on about stuff or write a whole HOWTO do it the Hard Way(tm), it's probably best if you try and follow the steps in the link Crowze supplied.

All i can say is that using NVidia cards and gentoo Linux the whole process is pretty straightforward and requires entering about 2 commands ;-) So since Mandrake focuses on being User-friendly and all that, i would suppose it has to be even easier.
In reality it is probably more messy.

If we meet on IRC i can walk you through step by step. I will be back home tomorrow at around 17-1900 UTC..

Well I am offically done with Linux. I installed UT and it crashed too [and made my desktop 640x480].

I'll have to wait and freaking buy a 2nd PC with Linux running and configured, cause I am to dumb to figure it out. :(

Oh a different Linux version. Hell I'll try that one too. Third time is the charm....

Well I got on IRC a few times from Linux but saw no one... perhaps I did it wrong from Linux (it would not suprise me).

Yes, I highly Agree And it seems I broke Linux trying to get Inf going.

Plus I have HD space issues since I let Mandrake do the paritions itself during the install. I have a freaking 160 GB HD and it only makes the non user area 5GB (I guess I should re-install to fix that). Man, I was so close to being able to jump online with Inf! Now I can not even run UT (or AAO) again.

The name was sono and it was me :p

You broke it? Yeargh. And ****ing mandrake. What is that alsamixer problem? You can make additional partitions and mount them transparently into your file system, so space isn't a problem.

In short: Don't touch anything, ill be back hom in 6-8 hours.

All is well, thanks to DaRealFunkyShyte!

Back On Topic [Kind of]
I can not get files either from my GD server while running Linux. I tried all kind of things [changes to GD Server]. I have send a few emails to UTPG in the hopes the will tell me what is wrong...

Does Linux UT/INF Servers and Linux Clients work for Download Redirect?
