Hello, I need to install Second Life and so need opengl :-) I have a video card seen by "my computer" as "Radeon VE" (same on hardware info) however there are no radeon ve driver on the ati web site :-( do you know by what reference, if any, ati does name the radeon VE? thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Votez pour nous, merci - vote for us, thanks :-) http://musique.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/Magic-Alliance/ http://photo.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/jddphoto/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

five seconds in google found this. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ATI_Mobility_Radeon_7000 besides, secondlife is a REAL performance bitch, I'm having performance issues with a radeon xpress 1100 and a geforce 5700, so i doubt that your experiences with that old a card will be less painful... but if you get it to work, meet me at ::Bare Rose:: ;) bye, MH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
do you know by what reference, if any, ati does name the radeon VE?
It is the good old Radeon 7000 chipset, which works with the "radeon" module - you don't need the drivers off ATi's website. I'm surprised that YaST didn't set it up straight away. Try this: # init 3 # sax2 -m 0=radeon Hans -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try this:
# init 3
# sax2 -m 0=radeon
you got the result. however, I want to quote some details (remember, 10.1): * from init 3, startx don't works (on my computer), need to init 5 to have X/kde (not tried startkde) * I had to delete the xorg.conf file to have it rebuilt with 3d activated, even with the -r option * the ati driver got with YaST (following the wiki) don't works - this is not surprising, the kernel number don't match completely -lat numbers different) * I use 24 bits (max value) and secondlife starts (don't know why the readme file asks for 32bits) * of course sl is extremely slow, nearly unusable thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net Votez pour nous, merci - vote for us, thanks :-) http://musique.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/Magic-Alliance/ http://photo.sfrjeunestalents.fr/artiste/jddphoto/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
