Two times I installed drake 9.2 and when it boots for the first time after install it will not boot to the gui. It gives me some sort of error message about my 9800pro. I am thinking during the next time I try to install it I should see if there is a genric driver I should try. Do you think that might fix my problem?

Try the 'vesa' driver.
Just run XFdrake (as root) and select the 'vesa' driver. You won't get hardwarew accellerated 3D though, but the rest should work nicely.
Cheers, and welcome to JLC :)

I just tried that driver about 10min ago and now it works just fine. Now I will have to get the ATI drivers.

On the Install try selecting Radeon (Fglrx) for the graphics card, Its what my 9600Pro uses so I assume it should work with the 9800Pro?
