Actually, my Radeon 1400 card is on the supported list. Still it does not work and the Catalyst 9.3 package (the latest released for my card) does not build on 11.2.
The opensouce "Solutions" should be called fall-back solutions because the are FAR from satisfactory.
Never the less, ATI fglrx dumps a message saying Xorg 7.1 was detected and it requires 7.4. Yet Clearly Opensuse 11.2 is running 7.4.
Sorry John but your card is not supported according to the official release notes.
Yup it is. See: http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.asp x?type=2.4.2&product=2.4.2.3.9&lang=English
9.3 is the version supporting my card, however it won't build under 11.2.
I just checked the page you listed and your card is definitely not on the list. Mine is (X1650) tho that is of no help to you. You card seems to be last supported by the 9.2 series.
No, you misread that list. That lists cards that have been MOVED out of this driver into the Legacy driver. (what ever the hell that one is). If you scroll down to Documentation and check the release notes you find this pdf: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/catalyst_9... Which lists my card (x1400) on page 3 as well as your card as being SUPPORTED. So this driver SHOULD work, but unfortunately, none of the installation methods work because it does not recognize xorg 4.7. Even after hacking a few build scripts I can get it to at least START compiling, but then it craps out with stuff beyond my pay grade. -- A computer without Microsoft is like a chocolate cake without mustard. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
