ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/Xorg/Xorg-X11R6.8. 0-untested/i386/suse91/
is populated. Has anybody any experience with these packages?
I have tried them with my Radeon-6800. Installation with rpm -Uhv *.rpm was easy. One has to fix some lines in one's XF86Config to provide for a xorg.conf (take a look at the readme) - easy, too. Xorg works, but I noticed a big difference in normal 2d-speed. Unfortunately, a difference in the wrong direction: many applications took *much* longer to start. I searched the net for xcompmgr and transset, compiled them and tried transparency and drop-shadows. Very nice to look at, but unbearably slow. In the end I re-installed XFree again, its much faster in 2d. Maybe xorg with the ATI-Drivers (fglrx) are better, but I haven't tried them.
