[opensuse-factory] Fglrx and 11.4, can't find a resolution
I wanted to use the fglrx driver with openSUSE 11.4 on my new (to me) laptop. I am good at following instructions, but I get an error saying that the catalyst thingy or the ATI installer (from the site) can't find a compatible adapter... despite all available information indicating that my device is supported. I have sought help elsewhere, and am at a loss. Besides that I would like to have the better performance for a couple of things, I need to get to the bottom of this issue. The laptop I purchased (used) has AMD and ATI, which are unfamiliar and was the motive for getting the old laptop... so I could learn these chips and be able to better assess clients or users in the community and be of assistance. 1:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

RS690 is still R5xx based ==> no longer supported by fglrx driver. Stefan Public Key available ------------------------------------------------------ Stefan Dirsch (Res. & Dev.)

All X1xxx and X2xxx are poorly supported by fglrx. Then you get the chance to work/debug/report issues with the free radeon one :-) -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member & Ambassador GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
