Hi,
today I installed the ATI Graphic Card driver from the official OpenSuse repositories. The version number is 8.493_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.1. The hardware is a Dell Inspirion 6000 Laptop with a ATI X300 Graphic Card.
Normally there is no further configuration necessary to get the driver up and running. But when I try to start up the driver, I get the following message:
"There was a problem initializing Catalyst Control Center Linux edition. It could be caused by the following:
No ATI graphics driver is installed, or the ATI driver is not functioning properly. Please install the ATI driver appropriate for your ATI hardware, or configure using aticonfig."
I tried two things: I configured the driver with aticonfig --initial and additionaly with sax2 -r. Both without success.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards
Carsten

Well, first, I believe the command is Sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx With the latest driver installers from the ATI web site I have been successful in dropping to init 3 (text console), then running the installer with no command line arguments. e.g.: ati-driver-installer-8-6-x86.x86_64.run (in my case) then I run aticonfig --initial=check (to be sure fglrx is in the xorg.conf and finally the SaX2 -r -m 0=fglrx Then reboot (or fish around with rmmod dropping mods loaded from prior version, but really reboot is easier). -- ----------JSA--------- Sig line deleted for the humor impaired. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
