Listmates, Heads up! The 8.454 driver causes errors on openSuSE 10.3 running 2.6.22.13-0.3-default kernel on a Toshiba P35 laptop. The card is an "ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series" (Chipset = 0x4e50). glxgears framerates drop from 2100 to 517 with the new driver and the driver causes kernel errors, does not initialize DRI and does not provide 3D acceleration. A summary of the Xorg.0.log errors are: 10:59 Rankin-P35a~> grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log (EE) fglrx(0): Failed to initialize ASIC in kernel. (EE) fglrx(0): [agp] Failed to set AGP mode! (EE) fglrx(0): cannot init AGP (EE) fglrx(0): atiddxDriScreenInit failed, GPS not been initialized.
