[NCLUG] Mandrake and graphics card

[James DeWitt]

Hi Elizabeth,

Here is the rpmfind list of rpms that might work for you.  Mandrake 8.1
is not supported any more, so you might have to start at the newer ones 
and work backwards.  You may also need to find some other required packates
here as well.

Hope this helps,
JD
