I am hoping that someone out there can point me in the right direction to get my graphics card working in SuSE 10.2
I have followed instructions to try to get 3D running on the card but with no success.
I have done some background reading from google and it appears, and please correct me if I am wrong here, that ATI no longer offer drivers/support for this card under linux, specifically Xorg 7.2, and then I am not too sure if this is a suSE issue or other distributions work fine.
Does anyone know of a way around this, or if there is no way around, a good graphics card to replace this card, similar in performance to this card. I would rather not do this, but if this is the only way, then so be it.
Thanks for any suggestions,

Peter, This card should be well supported under Xorg's native radeon driver. There is no need to use ATI's drivers for this card to get acceptable 3D on your setup, it's a good card and there is no need to replace it at this time unless you need too. If you do need to, then by all means get another ATI card, because most, except for the very latest cards, are supported natively in Xorg. This makes them both convenient and easy to set up using Sax2 in runlevel 3. You will need to find either 8.28 or 8.29 version of the ATI driver, if you want to use that. Those, I believe, were the last ones to work with the older cards. Regards, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
