Jan, List I installed the 2.6.22.9-ccj54-default kernel via Yast and then rebuilt the ATI drivers by hand pursuant to http://en.opensuse.org/ATI_Driver_HOWTO#The_Hard_Way and http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html. Two issues: First, for some reason Yast/sax2 incorrectly recognizes the card as an ATI RV350 NP. This is incorrect. The card is correctly listed with glxinfo: OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9600/9700 Series OpenGL version string: 2.0.6747 (8.40.4) The card was correctly recognized and shown in yast while running the 2.6.22.3-ccj53-default kernel. Additionally, using sax2 under the new kernel, sax2 starts fine in 1440x900, but when you make any changes and hit 'test' sax2 goes to a black screen and freezes. Hard restart required. Second, running glxgears as a normal user causes the following malloc error, but does run. Running glxgears as root works fine. Both glxgears and fgl_glxgears frame rates are fine showing hardware acceleration is working. The malloc error is: 17:13 //david/Rankin-P35a~ glxgears FGLTexMgr: open of shared memory object failed (Permission denied) __FGLTexMgrCreateObject: __FGLTexMgrSHMmalloc failed!!!

Obviously it is a permission error, but I don't know where to start to track it down. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jan, everything else looks OK so far. -- David C.
