I'm having problems getting the official ATI driver installed under SuSE 9.1, using kernel 2.6 (2.6.4-54.5-default exactly) and XFree86 4.3. i installed the kernel source and grabbed the .rpm from ati (fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm). i installed it as described on the ATI site and the output suggests that no errors occured. the complete output of the installation scripts can be found at http://www.sp1r1t.de/div/ati_linux/ati_linux.txt as lsmod shows, the module is loaded, but 3d acceleration is not available and there are some errors in the X logs that are no doubt related to the kernel module (it is called fglrx), especially the following lines : drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed drmOpenDevice: minor is 0 drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0 drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: open result is -1, (Unknown error 999) drmOpenDevice: Open failed [drm] failed to load kernel module "fglrx" (II) fglrx(0): [drm] drmOpen failed (EE) fglrx(0): DRIScreenInit failed!
