Gee, that's strange, my ati 9800 pro works flawlessly also. Wonder what YOUR problem was/is?
General statements such as yours seem like trolling.
Sorry, but I went from a dog Radeon 9200 to a stellar GeForce FX5200.
Maybe the 9800 is better -- but I do some high end gaming, and it's like night and day...I would never recommend any ATI product to any Suse user after my experience.
I've always like Nvidia. i wouldn't recommend it before I knew ATI was crap for most OSs other than Windows. Mike, you ever get that card working in Free BSD with true 3D? If you have you're way better than I'm giving credit for.
Why would I want to do that? I use it under suse. Works like a champ. 3D included. Takes a couple of minutes to compile the drivers, and away I go. Been doing it since I had a 7500. Then an 8500, and now the 9800.
The other thing is I would definitely always stick only to hardware on the Suse supported hardware database. I had a similar problem with an SB 24-bit Live! All those problems were solved went I bought a $13 CMI based card.
I have a Sound Blaster Live! but I think it's not the one you have.... I don't think. I bought it like 2 years ago and it works without problems in every OS I've used (Over 80 of them).
Same here. If it ever dies, I'll get something better. Until then this one is fine. I don't think my hearing is good enough to hear all the bells and whistles of the new 24bit cards with dolby 7.1, and so on.
