[opensuse-factory] Installing on SATA HDD with SATA DVD-Burner
Hi list, I have installed openSUSE 10.3 alpha 4 on a SATA2 HDD using a SATA2 DVD-Burner. So far so good. However the mobo has Radeon Xpress 1250 integrated graphics which only runs in framebuffer mode on alpha 4. I would like to exercise the graphics chip in 3D mode but so far there are no opensource drivers for the X1250 and the ATI Proprietary Linux x86_64 Display Driver 8.36.5 does not yet support X-Org 7.2 found in alpha 4. Now openSUSE 10.2 GM is pre X-Org 7.2 so the Proprietary Driver would probably work there but sadly 10.2 does not support SATA HDDs and SATA Burners :-( Can anyone tell me how to install 10.2 GM with the necessary SATA support? Hardware: ASUS M2A-VM mobo (AMD690G chipset) Athlon 64 X2 4800+ CPU Kingston KVR667D2N5K2/2G (2GB DDR2/667 RAM) 320GB Seagate Barracuda Sata2 HDD Pioneer DVR-212 Sata2 DVD Burner --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

10.2 works with my SATA HD and SATA DVD burner. There are no PATA devices in the system. I've seen others post here about installing 10.2 from SATA DVDs.
