Is there a place I can download the ATI drivers directly? Andreas Jaeger wrote:

Hi,
I recently read a Ottawa Linux Symposium talk report by Greg Kroah-Hartman (SuSE Labs/Novell) which is at:
http://www.kroah.com/log/linux/ols_2006_keynote.html
The precise wording of Novell's policy is:
========================================= Novell's Official Position
Most developers of the kernel community consider non-GPL kernel modules ot be infringing on their copyright. Novell does respect this position, and will no longer distribute non-GPL kernel modules as part of future products.
February 9, 2006 =========================================
Does this mean we won't see ATI/NVidia's graphics drivers in their future releases? How much of the current hardware will be impacted by such a policy?
We never had NVidia's drivers as part of our releases and will not add them.
Btw. NVidia and ATI both of repositories with drivers that you can use:
Add as ZYPP / YUM source:
http://www2.ati.com/suse/ as repo for ATI drivers and Packages: x11-video-fglrx ati-fglrx-kmp-default (replace default by your kernel flavour)
ftp://download.nvidia.com/novell for NVIDIA drivers. Package: nvidia-gfx-kmp-default (replace default by your flavour)
While these are the SLED 10 drivers, the current SUSE Linux 10.1 update kernel works fine with them, as it's basically the same,
