Hello,
I have a Radeon 9200SE video card in my computer which is running
FC5 + CCRMA. Does anyone know where I can find instructions on how to
install drivers for this without damaging my Linux installation?
Also, since I'm using a "non-standard" kernel (CCRMA's
rt-something), does that mean I will have to recompile the kernel, or
what?
Thanks for any help!
See
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/ATIRadeon. There should be no need
to recompile the kernel or use a binary-only driver.
Are you sure the distro did not already install the correct driver?

No, but I'm at work right now, and my Linux box is at home.
Now that I look at the contents of the FC5 distro, I see that there is
a "xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4.i3..>" RPM, which I'm guessing would
contain the DRI module that I need?

No, I think DRI is part of the kernel. I compile it as a module and
then load it as 'drm'. See my other post for the two Xorg-X11 drivers
in use on AMD64 with multiple sound cards.
