thanks to the post about how-to's, 
HOWEVER, it didn't work.!!  and i got something 
maybe someone can help me with.
so, ran through the ATI Radeon how-to by gracar,
ran fglrxconfig, seemed to work, no error messages
that i could tell,
but no x, even on a restart.
so read through the second one,
(based for suse)
did the modprobe fglrx and lsmod | fglrx 
and all ok
BUT when I did modprobe agpgart, 
this is what i got

modprobe agpgart
agpgart: Unsupported SiS chipset (device id: 0730), you might want to try agp_try_unsupported=1.
/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz: init_module: No such device
Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters
/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz failed
/lib/modules/2.4.8-26mdk/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o.gz: insmod agpgart failed


so, do i need a new motherboard? 
do i need different software?
do i need a different graphics card?
should i just buy a mac with os10! =-p

thanks for all your help, 
-lost and confuzzled
