Hi all,
A friend of mine has installed SuSE 8.1 via FTP, and he can not configure the grphic card, a Radeon 8500 LE. He has an AMD Athlon 2000+ based PC with 256MB RAM and a HDa on 80GB and one at 40GB as the second mounted as slave. I tried to help him, but without success. The Yast2 recognize the card as Radeon QL and I've changed it to LE too but no luck. Am I missing something, or the card is not supported? On the SuSE site there is mentioned Radeon to be supported by SuSE! Can somebody point me to the right direction?
You can find some drivers at http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html . They work fine with my 8500
There is a working ATI driver now, written by Tungsten Graphics. It works quite well, I've used it to watch DVD, play quake3 and Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The only drawback is that it requires X 4.2.99, so you have to download and compile the entire X distribution.
