UT2003 with ATI 9700 in Red Hat 9

[Deaths_Ride]

Hi,
A fellow by the name of "Bob" wrote me and asked me how I got the ATI to run on my Red Hat 9 box, well unfortunately "Bob", you put your return mail address as "Bob"...so i cant return to you personally, so i will post the msg here:
P.S. Let me know if it was a fluke or this works for you,
Don

Hi,
Actually the icculus UT list helped out on the sound issue, what I did was swap the sound driver (openal.so) from the 2199 patch (the one that worked)and replaced it with the one that came in with the new patch (if this is confusing, sorry am an ISP tech and am on the phone with a customer:))

Ok regarding the ATI driver.  This is by fluke I got it working, but I can spew out what I did:
If you are running Red Hat 9 with the new Glibc and Xfree 4.3 go to this site:

http://www.schneider-digital.de/html/download_ati.html

Grab the file that says:

glx1_linux_X4.3.zip
it will unzip to a *.rpm, do rpm -Uvh <file_name> --force (the --force is what licked it), and hopefully when u restart X it will work...of course try at your own risk.

P.S. when u do the *.rpm, the general X config will start up, just think through your answers and u should be fine. Ohhh, might be a good idea to be out of X all together.
Take care,
Don
