No need to apologize ... :-)

You're right, though, about why it doesn't work.  I
insmod the fglr200 driver and get this message, which
was similar I think to the one I got with my old
nvidia card:

"Using
/lib/modules/2.4.18-11/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglr200.o
/lib/modules/2.4.18-11/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglr200.o:
The module you are trying to load
(/lib/modules/2.4.18-11/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglr200.o)
is compiled with a gcc
version 2 compiler, while the kernel you are running
is compiled with
a gcc version 3 compiler. This is known to not work."

What is strange is that I am testing the release
candidate of mandrake which is also compiled with gcc
3.2 and it works.  I wonder why the difference?

Anyway, thanks again for the help.

Anxiously awaiting the final release of Null,
Charles
