Matthias, thank you for the commentary - and I highly appreciate the plan to set up a WIKI page for the ATI driver. And still: I am willing to contribute whatever I can if only someone will coordinate things. I do not want SuSE to support anything they explicitly exclude from support - but I think that such issues need a commentary. So, put something in the README.SuSE that says: and if you run into this, delete that, do not test ... To end this thread: let me know how to help and I am willing to do my best. Ten lines of comments - like those you denoted in your last answer - would have saved me plenty of time, many reboots and so on. What regards 9.3: from a user standpoint this is a quite actual distribution. I depend on my system to run 24h a day - I do not have 10 of them - so, the main rule is: do not touch a running system :-). After more than 10 years of linux I think I know what I am talking about. This may differ from a developers standpoint, but that's another story. Take care Dieter Jurzitza Am Dienstag, 3. Januar 2006 12:29 schrieb Matthias Hopf: *****************
Ok, sorry that I overread the 9.3 thing. In any case, it should read '-m 0=fglrx', not '-m 0=firegl'. In that case with the new ATI drivers the easiest thing is to use the command line given in the README.SuSE and delete all entries from the Modeline section (or better: the 'UseModes "Modes[0]" in the Monitor section) after configuration by hand (Do not 'test' the configuration, as this will crash the driver as well).
