Funny that. I've had no trouble installing the ATI drivers on my AMD64 x 2 SUSE 10.0 Compaq box - and I'm hopeless at these sorts of things. I just downloaded them from ATI, ran the install script, did aticonfig --initial and that was it. I've also installed quite a few updates as well. Same procedure. No problems - except the box sometimes (once a month - ish) refuses to boot to runlevel 5. I just run aticonfig --initial from the command line, let it tell me there's nothing to do, then reboot and all's well again.
If you're somehow having to reboot a linux box that often, that's not luck, that's extreme flakiness.

I reboot my desktops every day - my laptop sometimes twice a day. Nothing wrong there. :)
Your microsoft background is showing again ;)
LOL! Well, you know those legacy OS's like Windows. They just stick around. At least I don't tell the mainframe guys to IPL every day. :P
Old school linux people don't like to reboot - I usually get 40-100 days uptime on my desktop boxes, rebooting for kernel upgrades. I'm a little more conservative on my home servers, and they routinely have 6 month uptimes. At work we tend to have the 400-600 day uptimes in the server room.
On servers I would do that. My desktops and laptops at home only are on when I'm actually using them - which is the evenings. I power them down otherwise. -- kai Free Compean and Ramos http://www.perfectreign.com/?q=node/46 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
