John, the 9.3 Catalysts will not compile on any kernel newer then 2.6.27 (or with some hacking up to 2.6.29) but will not compile for 2.6.31 kernels. You have two real choices here, run openSUSE 11.1 with the ATI blobs or run the opensource drivers on 11.2. Heck even on non-legacy ATI cards (2000+) support for 11.2 was just added in the 9.11 Catalysts.

I'm pretty much stuck with the open source radeon driver at this time which means no google earth, and totally unusable 3D effects in KDE. Its a toss up which is more unlikely, the opensource driver becoming capable or AMD fixing the 9.3 driver. Luckily this is a Dell 9400 laptop, and I can swap the video out for something better supported, which I may well do. -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
