ATI pfft ARGHHHHHH HELP!!!!!

[Greeny132]

Hiya guys, I've been up the night trying to get my 9600xt to work in linux but I'm having some issues, basically I can get drivers installed and working but after about 5 seconds of rendering any 3d I either get a hang or the card stops sending signal to the monitor completely!

I know it is nothing to do with the card cos it works fine in windows in the same rig.

Any ideas? (buy nvidia isn't an idea - I know)

:edit: I'm running fedora core 3 btw but its been the same over mandrake, debian, slackware and vector

Yeah I tried a few different drivers including those but I think there might be a conflict with the mainboard drivers I'm gonna check it later tonight

Nope, nodda clue, I've tried different distros different kernels different drivers but no matter what as soon as I load a 3d app (even glxgears ffs) it dies.

I am never being given an ATI card again <sulk>
