Hi,
When I completed my initial openSUSE 11.1 installation I was surprised to see that I had an ATI driver installed. ...
Not directly relevant, but right after posting that message, I looked again at the YaST Additional Package Repositories page (http://en.opensuse.org/Package_Repositories) and noticed that now there are ATI driver packages for 11.1.
To quote our Homeric Hero: Woo-Hoo!
Alas, premature and irrational exuberance. I installed this driver and now have no 3D at all. And while sysinfo:/ shows this:
Display Info Vendor: ATI Technologies Inc Model: ATI RADEON 9600 Series (RV350/RV360 4152) Driver: Unknown
flg_glxgears and glxgears yield this:
% fgl_glxgears Using GLX_SGIX_pbuffer X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 14 Current serial number in output stream: 14
% glxgears X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 143 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 14 Current serial number in output stream: 14
Stellarium and Celestia now hang at start-up and have to be killed.
In the 64 bit install, there is a problem with the 32 bit fglrx_dri.so. You can go to /usr/lib/dri and rename the current fglrx_dri.so and then ln -s /usr/lib64/dri/fglrx_dri.so /usr/lib/dri/fglrx_dri.so
This got the fglrx driver working for me. C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
