Further on this.... I've added the rpm-md for http://www2.ati.com/suse to Smart (and YaST) and attempted to download the packages x11-video-fglrx and ati-fglrx-kmp-default. In both Smart and YaST, it fails to download either of these packages. (this was based on the instructions found here: http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_YaST_Package_Repositories#ATI_Video_driver... and here: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html I've also tried installing the drivers with the ATI graphical installer - making the RPM from that shell script. The drivers install fine - ie no errors. I can reconfigure my xorg.conf using sax2, and get the correct resolution for the attached monitor (1440x900) but anything that uses GL runs at about 1 frame every 2 or 3 seconds... this is definitely not correct for an ATI X1300... More troubleshooting... I disconnected the TFT monitor, and connected an old 14" CRT that can do 1024x768 resolution... started over with the whole ATI driver install and configure routine (just in case it was choking on the monitor for some obscure reason)... I can get it all working with the correct resolution and refresh rates on the CRT... but absolutely no GL support...none. In frustration, we did a full reformat and clean install (it's a fresh install anyway, so nothing is lost). Followed all the instructions as given.. and get the right resolution... and no GL support at all. Is it actually possible to get an ATI card working? I can't think of anything else to try here... have I missed anything? Is there any way of getting the ATI repository working? Does anyone know of a place I can download the rpms for x11-video-fglrx and ati-fglrx-kmp-default? What else can be done here? Suggestions or ideas anyone? C.
