In 10.2 the nvidia binary-blob drivers can be downloaded very easily by adding as installation source http://download.nvidia.com/opensuse/10.2 and installing x11-video-nvidia and nvidia-gfx-kmp-"kernel-flavor".

Can this be done the same way for ATI? Moreover, do the ATI binary-blob drivers even work for 10.2, considering they suport X.org 7.1 and SUSE has X.org 7.2?

Ask ATI. The more demand they get, the better are the chances that they will change their drivers.

Well, upon looking at the ATI Rpms for 10.1 (direct from the ATI site) you will see they were built on the opensuse build farm, so perhaps its not totally ATI's doing? -- _____________________________________ John Andersen

No, they dont. If you have an ATI card lower than X1000, you should choose the opensource radeon driver. If you have a newer card, you shouldnt install SUSE 10.2 yet. At least until either the opensource-driver for the newer ATI-chips is released or ATI has a functioning BLOB-driver ready.

Yeah, but you can only choose the open-source drivers if you do not want to connect your computer to a TV. Hugo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
