Hi, Just in case someone struggles with the same problem: The ATI proprietary driver won't be able to load its module on top of the kernel that comes with SuSE 10.0. The problem is a conflict between the kernel-embedded DRM, and the ATI DRM. You'll see an error message like that in your /var/log/messages: ... kernel: Trying to register duplicated ioctl32 handler c0246400 ... kernel: [fglrx:firegl_init_32compat_ioctls] *ERROR* unable to register ioctl32 0 ... kernel: [fglrx:firegl_init] *ERROR* Couldn't register compat32 ioctls! The problem goes away if you recompile the kernel with DRM disabled. The easiest way to get there is to simply do the following: cd /usr/src/linux zgrep -v DRM /prog/config.gz >.config make make install -- Bernd Paysan "If you want it done right, you have to do it yourself" http://www.jwdt.com/~paysan/
