(It says I am either not running in a console (which I am) or don't have the right to do so (I'm root)). Neither could I get anywhere with the ati install script (which seems to want to bring up a gui even though I didn't have a gui working - although I did try from another computer using X). I tried the generic "vesa" driver and this at least works (but only gives a 1280x1024 screen). At least Fedora 8 is running nicely on the 64-bit dual opteron system (with it's raid drive turned off). I will have to work on getting the raid drive working. It would have been nice to set everything up at the beginning but the problem is likely I don't know what I'm doing with the raid. Rick B.
