I had installed Mandrake 6.1 with my old Creative 48X CD-Rom, and ATI
Expert@work 99 using the Mach 64.

My CD-Rom drive died, and I bought a DVD. Does Linux (mandrake) support a
Tobisha DVD Rom (8X)?

Also, since ATI Expert@work 99 has 8MB, I had to upgrade t0 32 MB. I should
have done research first to see if Linux has a driver for 32MB viddeo cards,
but I didn't.

I bought an ATI 2000. Has the same drivers as the 128Xpert 99 SD AGPRage
Model.

My Linux HATES the Mach 64, and I had to re-install the OLD AGP card to
manualy tell Linux to boot to Console, and NOT to go to X. I now have the
need to learn how to install a Video Driver for Linux, and Find a Working
Driver.

Anyone have the same experience, and/or driver with instructions for a
Newbie??

Any help appreciated

Please E-Mail me with a response, beause I have a hard time finding a
response in all the messages.
Thanks Again
