[HLUG] Failed Mandrake installation

[Sue & Michael Ranyard]

I installed Mandrake 10.1 and had problems.  It will not work with my  
internal or external modem, though both work fine with Windows.  It will  
not work with my sound card (though I know I need a different one for  
Linux.)
I installed a Graphics card on my computer - a Radeon 9550 - having read  
somewhere that this would work with Linux.  But now, when Linux loads, I  
finish up with a blank screen.  Clearly Mandrake Linux doesn't work with  
this graphics card.  I have tried looking for drivers and failed to find  
any.

I tried using a CD live version of SuSe 9.3 but also got a blank screen.   
Clearly it does not like this graphic card.

However the CD live version of Knoppix 3.9 works OK

Can anyone tell me if drivers exist for the card?
If they do, how can I install them?
If they don't, then, for the moment I want to uninstall Mandrake.  I  
understand that if I just reclaim the Linux partition for windows, then  
LILO will not work.  But how can I get get rid of the LILO menu that  
allows me to choose between Linux, failsafe and Windows?

Any help would be appreciciated
Michael
