Hi list this is my first post, I'm relatively new to the linux world.

I'm interested in "videocard for linux" problem.

I've got an ATI Radeon 9600. I can't install ATI proprietary driver on
dynebolic (if I remember, there was an issue with kernel module compiling).

I've got some question:

1 - What's the best choice for videocard in linux today?

2 - What's the dyne module with the correct kernel for dynebolic 2.5.2?
Which of this?

3 - In the installation guide of some software/driver, in the prerequisites,
there's the specification that you must have installed "the correct
kernel-source, kernel-headers, or kernel-devel package" (taken from nvidia
site :-)
How can I reach this in dyne:bolic? (I've tried some of the modules above
without luck).

Thanks in advance

PS: I'm very happy to participate to the dynebolic/linux world.

ciao!
