Hi all, does anyone know the commands to download and install drivers for the following:
ATI Radeon 7500 AGP
Intel 865G chipset VGA driver (motherboard driver)
All help appreciated.

I once had a Radeon 7500, moons ago. The ATI
support website doesn't offer a proprietary Linux driver for the 7500 series, so I reckon you'll have to use the
open-source driver. Bianca is akin to Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy).
According to
this discussion, the Intel 865G chipset doesn't need a special driver under Linux.

Thanks for that, yes the machine with the 865G chipset is working fine under Bianca but I just wanted to be sure.
I have a low profile 64m 7500 which I might add in to unload the frame buffer from the RAM.
Any ideas on the ATI driver?

Nope. No ideas. Just happy thoughts.

you might try using envy, if it is agp you will probably need to use the older driver

For some reason whenever I use Envy (and tried on about three machines) it either sits there and does nothing or it crashes the machine so I think I'll stay away from it.
