Hey,
How did things go? Sorry, started updating my MythBox last night.. and that took alot longer then expected (Ubuntu 7.04 to 7.10) and it broke my VNC and I don't have my router forwarding SSH :( .. So can't work on from here go get VNC working.. Oh well TV works fine :D

Here is where we are. After installing 8.42.3, I found that rpm -e of either the 8.40 or 8.41 driver failed to remove and replace the /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2* library with the new /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2* from 8.42. This was causing a conflict that borked fglrx. After fixing this by moving /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 to /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2.old and then # ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2 "J" (CyberOrg) was most helpful in pointing out that there may be other libGL conflicts. However, after make the above change, fgl_glxgears and fglrxinfo work as they are supposed to. Also, after looking for additional conflicts, I think I'm OK. (do you see anything else amiss) http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/libGL_pkgs01.png http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/libGL_pkgs02.png However, the AIT control center (/usr/bin/amdcccle) still will NOT run. I haven't a clue what is causing this problem. As we spoke, the java error is still present: [root rankin-p35a/home/david] # /usr/bin/amdcccle amdcccle: xcb_xlib.c:52: xcb_xlib_unlock: Assertion `c->xlib.lock' failed. Aborted "export LIBXCB_ALLOW_SLOPPY_LOCK=true", eliminates the error, but the control center will not start and requires a ctrl+c to kill the process. Also, "aticonfig" will NOT run. I have posted my xorg.conf. If anyone can take a look and see if there is anything wrong, I would appreciate it. It is at: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/screenshot/xorg.conf J also has a very helpful blog for the new drivers: http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~cyberorg/2007/10/24/ati-8433-on-opensuse-the-h... The blog pointed out that I needed to edit xorg.conf and add: Option “AIGLX” “true” to "ServerFlags" and change the extensions: Section “Extensions Option “DAMAGE” “true” Option “Composite” “true” EndSection This is where I am.

No. fglrx loads fine. Why would I need to whitelist it? I don't even have a /etc/modprobe.d/whitelist. However, that is another suggestion that I'll go try and report back. What is the format?

I found where modprobe.conf sources /etc/modprobe.d/ so the whitelist above should work. However, I can find no support for "whitelist" in man modprobe.conf ADDENDUM: Firefox will no longer display web sites that contain graphics. This is a side effect of the xorg.conf change.

WOHOO! Damn, it works! The final step was to load the fusion-icon. Then that super cool 'fusion' splash appeared and wham, there was the desktop. "run command" fixed, and this is one cool desptop. Thank you all for all of your help. Now to sort out the remaining problems and to start a new thread, this one is Done! The remaining issues: (1) all taskbar icons are now scattered across the kicker panel where the apps usually go. Beagle and fusion-icon are the only ones in the right place; (2) screen still freezes while when dropping from x back to the login; (3) Firefox no longer displays many web sites (simple ones); (4) figure out how to get compiz to autostart.

Glad you got it all working.. CyberOrg really helped out.. Wish I could have been more help, but damn I am slammed at work ATM. Weird that you had to install the Compiz Fusion Icon for it to work correctly. What DE are you using? My startup script is: :~> cat .kde/Autostart/startberyl.sh #! /bin/sh sleep 5 compiz --replace ccp & Sleep 5 because it lets the system tray icons set first.. Also check the ccsm settings to see if the workaround for firefox are enabled. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

OK, Hold On! After making the above changes to xorg, something has definitively changed! I know have the compiz looking full rich shadows around all text boxes, screen performance is down (like I'm pushing a lot more graphics to the screen), but session manager shown a greyed out kwin with no option to select compiz? The greyed kwin is normal for session manager. The display definitively looks better, but has a few exta "flashes" every now and then. What do I need to do to get compiz now? Another 1-click install?
