AIUI, if someone wants to use the proprietary driver, it is enough that the package adds nomodeset boot option to bootloader configuration and the drivers should continue to work just fine? (I'm no fan, but on few machines I need 3D on ATI...)
The idea is that the install script for the proprietary driver would either set the global NO_KMS_IN_INITRD sysconfig variable or blacklist exactly those PCI ids in /etc/kms/<drm_driver_name>.blacklist and rerun mkinitrd.
The latter is actually preferred as the fglrx driver doesn't support the range of hardware that is covered by the free drivers.
The uninstall script should be kind enough to remove those entries and rerun mkinitrd.
That's only possible for RPMs built for openSUSE right? People installing the blobs the manual way would have perform these actions manually? .. which currently means _all_ fglrx users on 11.2 for example. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
