So I had the following section in my xorg.conf, and no mentioning of fglrx anywhere: Section "Device" BoardName "Framebuffer Graphics" BusID "1:0:0" Driver "fbdev" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "VESA" EndSection So I looked at /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/README.SuSE and ran the following command (not at runlevel 3 as instructed, but I tried for simplicity in KDE): # sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/sax2-profile SaX: initializing please wait... SaX: your current configuration will not be read in SaX: access to your display has been granted SPP: prepare device [0] profile: FireGL SPP: prepare device [3] profile: synaptics SPP: calling device [3] profile script: synaptics SPP: including prepared profile(s)... SPP: prepare device [0] profile: sax2-profile SPP: profile will add new section(s) -> moving: 1 SPP: including prepared profile(s)... ServerLayout -> all -> Screen -> 0 -> top = ^ line <6>: syntax error: invalid KEY in LValue specification or invalid assignment: expected LValue=RValue with LValue=KEY sequence and RValue=STRING ServerLayout -> all -> Screen -> 0 -> bottom = ^ line <7>: syntax error: invalid KEY in LValue specification or invalid assignment: expected LValue=RValue with LValue=KEY sequence and RValue=STRING ServerLayout -> all -> Screen -> 0 -> left = ^ line <8>: syntax error: invalid KEY in LValue specification or invalid assignment: expected LValue=RValue with LValue=KEY sequence and RValue=STRING ServerLayout -> all -> Screen -> 0 -> right = ^ line <9>: syntax error: invalid KEY in LValue specification or invalid assignment: expected LValue=RValue with LValue=KEY sequence and RValue=STRING SaX: startup ..which did not really change anything, but also does not look like it worked without errors. I will now try again the same command from the command line. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

[...]

sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx seems to work better. fglrx gets activated. sax2 lists a resolution of 1400x1050. However, I end up with a resolution of 1280x1024, I think, so the desktop looks blurred.
