More precisely, I actually didn't install the ATI/Radeon drivers myself, but our technicians did that. First with Suse 11.2, downloaded from the ATI homepage (incompatible with the broadcom driver, so switched to 11.3). Second time with 11.3, now just the Yast package (crashed). Since I didn't do it myself, I cannot really explain more. Next time I'll attempt it myself. It's for ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5450. On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 06:35:47PM -0400, Anton Aylward wrote:

Currently I can't use the desktop effects (ATI driver not working), but hopefully at some point I can try it out.
Which "ATI Driver"? What hardware?
I've got all the desktop effects discussed here working on my Presario laptop with the 'radeon' driver.
Maybe you should just remove /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let the X driver figure things out for itself. That's what I did and I got good results. Stop trying to second-guess the software. It has the experience of experts embedded. There are also a lot of experts here, I've found, when I have the humility to listen to them :-)
Sure, the next time (after the conference) I'll try it myself, and hope I get again such a useful feedback as I got it for the last issues. thanks! Oliver
