Hi,
I'm glad, that you have achieved some working solution. As for me, I was lucky and desided not to solve the problem in the xorg.conf file manually and searched the issue in the inet and found out that on ATI dual head can be configured only with Catalist - it saved me much time. With closed drivers it seems that the working solution can't be found following the usual logic - it would work only in the way programmers from ATI decided to do it, so I prefer to use only the standard tools they provide - like Catalist - and not to touch xorg.conf by myself.
Regarding the system hang - I also have similar problems - they have appeared in latest drivers - there were no such problems, for example, in summer (but there were other problems). For example, I have updated the driver about a week ago, and now I can't log out from kde to gdm - I see the black screen and can only reboot with ctrl+alt+del (it was ok before this update). I also can't do init 3, init 5 to reset X - the system totally hangs. Probably there are more such problems. I only hope for the new open drivers written from opened specs, so probably in the next year my desktop would become stable.
Be aware that in at least SOME instances, the ATI installer puts things in the wrong place. On my upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3 x86_64 system I had to copy some modules that were placed in directories where a normal suse install did not find them. I submit the following script for your perusal: #!/bin/bash ### These copies may be needed as well to get all KDE things to work ### properly cd /usr/lib64/xorg # ---> make some documentation in case all hell breaks loose... ls -l > prior.dir cp libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1.2.bak cp /usr/X11R6/lib64/libGL.so.1.2 ./ cp libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0 libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0.bak cp /usr/X11R6/lib64/libfglrx_gamma.so.1.0 ./ #---> More docs ls -l > post.dir ---- Also for google earth users.. (x86_64 machines) Google earth seems to carry a copy of libGL.so.1 in its working directory. When you get a new ati install, the libGL is usually wrong, and if you delete it you end up getting the 64bit one instead of the 32bit. The easiest fix i found was to step into ~/google-earth and soft link libGL.so.1 to the correct (32bit) location. ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 libGL.so.1 HTH. -- ----------JSA--------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
