[Bug 227834] New: ATI 9000 Video Card not being reported by SaX2
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227834 Summary: ATI 9000 Video Card not being reported by SaX2 Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: geoffrey.said@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Hardware: Laptop HP Proliant zv5000 Series with ATI 9000 Radeon Mobility graphic chip. Senario: Upgrading from SuSE 10.1 to OpenSuSE 10.2 Opening SaX2, under Card and Monitor Properties, there is not card name displayed near the Card: subtitle. I can only change the Monitor. Further more the Activate 3D Acceleration check box is greyed out and I do not have 3D enabled. If I click on the Options button, there are a number of options but all of them are disabled. The card seems to have been detected properly as I am being told that I am using the radeon Xserver. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I managed to download the proprietry driver from the ati web site and built a package for OpenSuSE 10.2. Afterwards I installed the rpm and, following instructions in the package docs, I activated it using SaX. I still had to remove Xgl support as the display was still flaky, with no window decorations and no short cut keys working. (Maybe compiz was not working properly) Any idea how I can activate back the Xgl compiz settings as I was running pretty fine. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I managed to download the proprietry driver from the ati web site and built a package for OpenSuSE 10.2. Afterwards I installed the rpm and, following instructions in the package docs, I activated it using SaX. Very interesting, since your graphics card is no longer supported by the fglrx driver. The latest version, which still supports your card is 8.28.8, but everything older than 8.32.5 doesn't work on openSUSE 10.2 due to X.Org 7.2.
I still had to remove Xgl support as the display was still flaky, with no window decorations and no short cut keys working. (Maybe compiz was not working properly)
Any idea how I can activate back the Xgl compiz settings as I was running pretty fine. First of all I'll need your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log for investigation.
