Thanks for the warning. I need it for a laptop too. It's an Acer with a Mobility Radeon X700. Any ideas anyone?

Right now -- Not for 11.1, for 10.3-11.0 you can still use the 8.9 driver which has the best performance of all the latest releases. The 8-10 through 9-1 drivers all have frame rate issues with glxgears and general system slowness on my Toshiba laptop.
In my history, I have never encountered an ATI driver as completely broken as the 9.2 driver (OK, I lied, the October 2007 release was pretty broken with SONAME problems requiring library rearrangement). Right now, the situation with ATI drivers just pretty much sucks. At least with 11.0 and earlier you have the option of using the older ATI drivers that work great. With 11.1, you are just dead in the water for the time being.
Hi I've not tried it yet. My main question is what to do. Do I install the new kernel bearing in mind this:
ati-fglrxG01-kmp-pae-8.573_2.6.27.7_9.1-0.1.i586 requires kernel(pae:mm) = b853ab28d43f4e8e, but this requirement cannot be provided
[ ] do not install patch:kernel-559.noarch
[ ] Following actions will be done: deinstallation of ati-fglrxG01-kmp-pae-8.573_2.6.27.7_9.1-0.1.i586 deinstallation of x11-video-fglrxG01-8.573-0.1.i586 [ ] Ignore some dependencies of ati-fglrxG01-kmp-paethen install
select the deinstallation option and then go with: ati-driver-installer-9.2-x86.x86_64.run Or just wait? Mine is an acer laptop with X700 graphics. Lynn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
