Hi list,
- SUSE10.3/KDE/plain vanilla.
I just downloaded from the ATI-driver site, the "ati-driver-installer-8.443.1-x86.x86_64.run"
I switched to runlevel 3 and installed it. Without a hitch. (I tried from within X also, same results as below stated...)
From within a terminal window, as root, I do:
aticonfig --initial
- this goes well, it modifies xorg.conf and all.
When I subsequently start X, my entire machine goes into a black, dead state. Black screen, all terminals are dead. Network is alive, I can SSH into machine. Here, as root, "init 3" doesn't do anything. Only the wintendo solution works...hold the off keydown to switch it off. Then, when booting, set it to boot into level 3. I'm back into text mode. I may now copy my old (I DID save it) xorg.conf file into place and start X. But that's not much fun.
When I do: lspci, I get: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200]
I done my Google :-), no vail...Any hints...??
- problem partially solved... - I found this driver...: ati-driver-installer-8-01-x86.x86_64.run - this one runs. I think it gives me 3D accel. Don't really know, 'cause after installing compiz, I don't have the "Compiz Fusion Icon" in my menu structure? The two others are there (CompizConfig and Emarald Theme). And I can't find compiz-manager on the system... SIgh... -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
