No? Below is exactly how I built and installed the driver, all fglrx rpms were
removed. With 10.3, this laptop has always had problems with graphics for some
reason. 10.2 worked fine. The only other clue I could add was that during the
original install of 10.3, the screen froze, and the install bombed, but Yast
was able to pick back up almost at the point where the screen froze. (rescue
was borked) So I just had to continue the install the best I could. Is there
anything related to the initial 10.3 install that could still be causing this
problem?
Would I get any benefit from booting from the new kde-LIVE cd and trying rescue
from there? Anyway, here is exactly how I installed the fglrx driver:
------------------------------------------
Building and Installing the New ATI Driver
------------------------------------------
Prepare the kernel
# su
password
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make mrproper
# make cloneconfig
# make modules_prepare
# make clean
Remove old drivers
# rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)
Generate new driver
# sh ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg
# sh ati-driver-installer-8.42.3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg
SuSE/SUSE103-IA32
Check that the new driver rpms were successfully created in
/usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386
# l /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11073729 2007-10-22 19:45
fglrx_7_1_0_SUSE102-8.40.4-1.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15365859 2007-10-24 20:31
fglrx_7_1_0_SUSE103-8.42.3-1.i386.rpm
Go to Runlevel 3
# init 3
Install the new rpms created in /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386
# rpm -Uvh /usr/src/packages/RPMS/i386/fglrx*.rpm
After the install is finished, you need to launch the aticonfig utility
# ldconfig
# aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
Configure the new driver with sax2
# sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
Check other important Settings in the xorg.conf
For best and most stable working fglrx driver set the following options
to Section "Device" in the xorg.conf:
Option "BlockSignalsOnLock" "on"
Option "KernelModuleParm" "locked-userpages=0"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "UseFastTLS" "2"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "mtrr" "off"
Option "no_accel" "no"
Option "no_dri" "no"
Option "EnablePrivateBackZ" "no"
Option "backingstore" "true"
Option "XAANoOffscreenPixmaps" "true"
Add the addition xorg.conf settings:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AIGLX" "True"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "DAMAGE" "true"
Option "Composite" "true"
EndSection
All OK - reboot
