If by "got my Radeon 9200 working" you mean "you got the proprietary ATI

If you're willing to drop your insistence on using prioprietary drivers
and/or buying hardware that requires them, then you're in good shape!
That's one of the many reasons why proprietary drivers are evil and
rude, they tie you to a limited number of kernel version and thus
prevent any progress from happening.

are you a one reply beast or what? I admit many of your hints are
useful but what do you suggest people who want hardware opengl use? if
you can create, i.e design and build, a card with comparable (3D)
performance to my nvidia pci-e 6600le sli, write open source drivers,
for around 30 euro, i.e the price i payed for my nvidia, i'd be very
happy to buy one from you, as would the rest of us. Otherwise i'll
stick with my nvidia.

p.s yes, i make music and play red orchestra on the same machine, i'm
sorry i'm a bad person. My only other computer a 650 p3 isn't really
up to either task.
Do the
DeMuDi multimedia kernels not work with Ubuntu then?

I haven't tried, but I can tell you that I just *finally* got my
Radeon 9200 working with a standard Ubuntu kernel, so it is unlikely
that I'm going to mess with that anytime soon. I think the best
option for me is to start bugging the Ubuntu developers to start
making "official" RT kernels available.
