I had the same problem with an ATI HD6450. It was solved only by using the latest fglrx drivers from ATI, installing that manually (the repo you point to is one version behind. The new driver was released 4 days ago) Incidentally I would be very happy to use the open source radeon driver with my card, but after a while it freezes X, leaving in the terminals errors like: couldn't schedule IB(6) failed to schedule IB so I was forced to use the fglrx drivers and run into the same problem as Guenther Valerio On Thu, Nov 3, 2011 at 1:46 PM, Freek de Kruijf wrote:

Hello,

have any tested 12.1 with the ATI driver "11.9" on my system I have always a crash?. The KDE4 works very bad and slow?

I used the fglrx repository on http://linux.ioda.net/mirror/ati/openSUSE_Factory/

and I don't have problems.

Oh really, come on guys, nobody paid for this repo (Just me with my money) for the whole infrastructure :-) Patience is a virtue !! And getting feedback from end-users especially on a factory not yet release distribution is important for us, to know if it works or not correctly. Didn't you remember why this repository has been made ? If you look at the ati.amd website, you will see that they have to launch an urgency patch for the 11.10 drivers series for windows. How is that handle for the Linux version ? I'm waiting the green light of Sebastian Siebert (freespacer) after he build his building system, and test. Normally he has now also a HD6xxx series card, so we will be able to deliver a tested driver. Now I've seen a lot of people having trouble mostly with upgrade. My advice to do it safely hasn't change with time boot with blacklist=radeon 3 once in console : use what you can to change the KMS_IN_INITRD="no" in /etc/sysconfig/kernel mkinitrd reboot in console mode (3) (then radeon is cleaned from the initrd) I've the blacklist=radeon sticky on my boot line so I never forget it. At that time install the drivers, if you have any previous version installed remove them with a zypper rm check there's no more /etc/ati do all you update/upgrade install the driver finally ... This is important (also true for manual install of nvidia drivers) The free packages (xorg/mesa etc) sometimes override symlinks made by proprio blob. (I will not complain about that) reboot for safety. With this approach I never has trouble nor with fglrx (HD5750) nor nvidia (GTS,Quadro) ps : for nvidia use blacklist=nouveau

Incidentally I would be very happy to use the open source radeon driver with my card, but after a while it freezes X, leaving in the terminals errors like:

couldn't schedule IB(6) failed to schedule IB

so I was forced to use the fglrx drivers and run into the same problem as Guenther
