I have tried fglrx 9.3 earlier and something confused me.

I have followed the instruction in wiki of opensuse to install 9.3, but found that it is point out "Do Not to Use sax2" in the manual published from ati in 9.3 and 9.4. I scrutinized the wiki later and found it is said this, too.

The manual from ati said only to use "aticonifg --initial", but my xorg.conf is already exist and the word "fglrx" is already in the configuration file.(it is generateed by sax2 in the earlier driver) It is seemingly that aticonfig just echo "word fglrx is found" and did nothing to my xorg.conf. The purpose of not using sax2 is to avoid it rewriting xorg.conf in its way, but if aticonfig remains the xorg.conf wrote by sax2 earlier, dose the trick not using sax2 still work? In fact, I am querying if aticonfig dose really not rewrite xorg.conf if word "fglrx" is found in xorg.conf. And what proper route should I follow when install fglrx 9.3 from .run? # mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf-bakup # aticonifg --initial # diff /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/xorg.conf-bakup

and this should tell you the differences between the two conf files. Thing is if aticonfig finds fglrx in the conf file, the assumption is that a working conf file exist and there is no need to change/update it. Avoid using sax2 and this will overwrite the conf file.
