Latest ATI driver / status information

10 Dec 2005

      Dear listmembers,
to whom it may concern: I can report the latest ATI driver to work again on my 
Radeon 9600 XT, 8.19.1 worked too, but without 3D functionality (SuSE9.3)

In contrast to the recommendations in all the README's I usually call:

#!/bin/sh
PARFILE="/usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/sax2-profile"
if [ -f ${PARFILE} ]; then
        sax2 --lowres -r -m 0=fglrx -b ${PARFILE}
else
        echo "Parameterfile does not exist - cannot configure device!"
fi

"--lowres" is mandatory because calling sax2 without it leads to a colorfull 
but entirely useless screen display.

This behaviour started with release 8.16.20 and is persistent since then. I do 
not need this to configure 8.14.13, cannot explain.

Take care

Dieter Jurzitza
