: Before I royally screw up my openSuSE 11.0/fglrx install, will I have trouble with library conflicts after installing the radeonhd driver along side the fgrlx driver? I wouldn't think so. Normally, switching between radeon and fglrx is just a matter of xorg.conf and loading/unloading the drivers. Anything special about the radeonhd driver??
Using radeonhd when the fglrx module has *ever* been loaded during
boottime is unsupported, and the driver will probably fail to present a
reasonable image. Unloading the module is *not* enough.
That typically means that you have to deinstall the fglrx kernel module
in order to use radeon/radeonhd. Because the fglrx module might be
loaded in front.
3D apps use different libGL. Depending on your distribution, the libGL
might be located in different locations, so the wrong one could be
loaded (can be workarounded with LD_LIBRARY_PATH), or the other library
is overwritten (cannot be workarounded).
BTW, this is a FAQ.
