[opensuse] Fwd: Regarding 32-bit AMD Radeon HD Drivers for openSUSE 12.2
Hi all. I have just installed the 32-bit version openSUSE 12.2. I am facing issues with installing the driver for Radeon HD card. I have a 6470m card. I tried two solutions, and both of them failed: 1) 1-click installer for fglrx 2) atiupdate Both of them resulted in loss of GUI. I am looking for a generic solution which would enable me to install the driver on all architectures.

OpenSOURCE Radeon driver isn't sufficient? Loss of GUI in what respect? Blank screen? At what part of the booting process? Do you have any Xorg.*.logs to see why it failed? Possibly the drivers were not installed correctly? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I gave up with 12.1 and 12.2 on my laptop as all i got was the CLI login prompt, GUI crashed every time. Went back to 11.4. regards Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
upon startup, i was forced onto the console view, with no way of getting back to any desktop environment. i even tried the script by sebastien seibert, which had worked for me in 12.1, but even that did not work. On Wed, Dec 26, 2012 at 3:37 AM, ianseeks <ianseeks@dsl.pipex.com> wrote:

Yes, same for me and thats why i gave up with 12.1 and 12.2 and went back to 11.4 My graphics card is quite old now so i guess that's where the issue is. I'll try 12.3 when it comes out but i doubt it will be any different

Make sure to try 12.3 while it is in factory, and report the issue in bugzilla, to increase your chances. - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.
