So the driver that was in use before I configured the ATI / AMD repository (which did 3D) is the "radeon" driver you refer to? The reason I installed the ATI / AMD driver was the poor text drawing that got this whole thread started.
No, my bet is you had the frame buffer device installed by default. (fbdev) You should have got the radeon driver, but the complete fix may not have been put in place. See "Resolved" 11.1B5 Bug:
??? Does the "fbdev" driver support 3D? 'Cause the driver installed by default when I installed openSUSE 11.1 did 3D. And that originally installed driver still had the sluggish text drawing in Konsole.

3D isn't a big deal for me. I have a faster machine with a much better 3D card (an nVidia) that I use for 3D apps. The slow text drawing in Konsole is pretty annoying though—that's what I'd like to rectify.
The radeon driver should be flawless there.
I'm still uncertain how to go about how to switch from the current driver (from the ATI / AMD on-line repository for openSUSE 11.1) to this "radeon" driver. Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
