https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465124 Summary: fglrx driver (ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64) does not install correctly on openSUSE 11.1 Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: keith.goggin@bigpond.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- The fglrx driver does not install correctly on openSUSE 11.1 but can be easily corrected as reported by "coomac" in http://forums.opensuse.org/pre-release-beta/399274-ati-11-1-a-2.html (see below) I observed this problem when installing Google earth and received the following error. "./googleearth-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" The fix described by "coomac" solved my problem. Quote from forums.opensuse.org I spent the entire weekend trying to find a way around the X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) message. The solution turned out to be so simple I could cry. I'm using opensuse 11.1 x86_64 - I assume you're using the same. The error was because the i386 dri module was being loaded. So, remove /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so and replace it with a simlink to its 64 bit counterpart: ln -s /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so End Quote It is sad this problem was discussed and solved on an openSUSE forum in mid November 2008 and yet did not make it into GM. I know "coomac" would have been well advised to create a bug report as well as report his fix in the forum, but I do wonder sometimes if Novell are listening. -- 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.
