i install the fglrx from the ati repository, i install the kernel modulo and the driver, this is the unique form to install in my ati x200. i hope in opensuse 11 can run perfect normaly my ati. 2008/2/20, Andreas van dem Helge <joakimsen@gmail.com>:

Same boat here. Loaded on 10.3 the fireglx drivers as per the wiki instructions... I am loading the driver from the ATI repository... Anyways, when I use SaX2 to configure X to use the fireglx driver it hangs and the screen is totally black. I need to restart X with ctrl+alt+bkspc at which point it just reverts back to using the generic "radeon" driver.

Also the intel drivers are kind of broken. I don't understand why we can't detect the system has an older card and use i810 driver for that. SuSE really has gone downhill recently. Nothing is integrated. I load pidgin from the repository and when I try to follow an http-link in an IM it says that mozilla is not a valid app? Firefox printing is very poorly integrated. The list can go on. What ever happened to the quality control? Releases feel like betas. Betas feel like alphareleases. If you have packages from Packman installed it creates a severe dependency problem when upgrading which can be corrected by forcing any dependancies during the upgrade to switch vendors back to SuSE but no such option is present in the installer... I don't know why that's not implemented. Even in 10.3 there are some oddities with the installer maybe in some isolated cases but its not non-standard. Try to add the OSS, non-OSS internet repos during an install and then let the system upgrade the kernal during install... totally broke the system. The kernel running for some reason was the packaged kernel yet all the headers and drivers on the hard disc were the ones of the updated kernel (or the other way around... basically the running kernel version did not match the version of the only folder under /lib/modules/2.6.....

Greetings, I would like to report that 10.3 suse not have a very good support for the ati driver, but other distributions if, as ubuntu, then, I would let them know, so that in 11, we can easily run the fglrx driver of ati, that the compiz-fusion at 10.3 stays frozen, but if evidence other distributions nothing to do --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
