In the past day or two I saw IIRC somewhere on opensuse.org that as of 15.0 there are no working fglrx drivers. Is my memory wrong? Did I misinterpret? I seen no mention on https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/15.0/ that this is the case, but if true, it needs amending, as does https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglrx which was last updated over a year ago. So does https://en.opensuse.org/AMD last updated in October. Neither make any mention of the modesetting driver that upstream has long been working to eventually make the default for all AMD, Intel and NVidia gfxchips. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.

Yes wrong the page start with Version: Leap 42.1 and older. The fglrx driver does not work on Leap 42.2+ or Tumbleweed as it has been abandoned by AMD.

Reminding that it's a Wiki is pointless. To fix it requires knowing what the fix is. I wanted to improve a wiki page in order to provide an improved answer to a forum page, but couldn't find the perceived improvement needed, thus my OP. -- "Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom.
