Is it not possible to provide an rpm with these patched packages?

Yes, it works, but It in my installation it freezes randomly. I'm investigating why, I'll post here if I'll find something interesting for the community On Thu, May 22, 2008 at 1:23 PM, Pavol Rusnak wrote:

It works without patching, indeed.

It seems that starting the kernel with acpi=off it works. I'm installing the new kernel too see if it helps

I've resolved installing the kernel 2.6.25.4-7-default and doing the following: cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig make modules_prepare make clean /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh sax2 -a sh /var/tmp/ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run ldconfig aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf init 3 sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx modprobe fglrx Now it works well I hope this can help others. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

No way!!

Sorry for the infinite replies... :-(

It still freezs and I don't how to fix it.

I'm almost sure it's related with the kernel, in fact the ati driver works well with kernels prior to 2.6.25, patching the kernel as raccomended by somes it doesn't help as well.

Now, while I'm replying with a ¢|¬§°#@°§¬°§|6 windows :-( , I'm updating again the whole system.

If anybody has an idea on how to fix this problem it would be great!!!

Thanks Antenore

Now it works well

I hope this can help others.

After 1 week of use I can say (I hope) I finally fixed the problem and it was by a wrong module configuration. Here you have the settings of my device in xorg.conf (it's a dualhead with big desktop): Section "Device" BoardName "Mobility FireGL V5200" Driver "fglrx" Identifier "Device[0]" Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800" Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0" Option "ForceMonitors" "auto,crt1" Option "VRefresh2" "56-76" Option "Mode2" "1024x768,1024x600,800x600 ,768x576,640x480" Option "FSAAScale" "0" Option "FSAAEnable" "off" Option "HSync2" "30-82" Option "DesktopSetup" "Horizontal" Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true" Option "TexturedVideo" "on" Option "VideoOverlay" "off" Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off" Option "Textured2D" "on" Option "TexturedXrender" "off" Option "UseFastTLS" "1" Option "BackingStore" "on" VendorName "ATI" EndSection Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "on" Option "RENDER" "Enable" Option "DAMAGE" "Enable" EndSection The most importants, that actually fixed the problem are Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800" Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0" I'm using a Lenovo T60p with a ATI Mobility FireGL V5200 I hope this can help.
