Mine is ATI Radeon 9200SE 128 MB Graphics Controller. and I am usin SUse9.1 . I hav downloaded XFree rpms from ati.com and when I installed them. After tat I ran "fglrxconfig"
and configured it. Finally when I run this command "xvinfo" I am getting no adapters found...and when I run tuxracer game or ne 3D accelerated game .. I am gettin logged out.
I donno wat video drivers to install to make my Graphics Card work better . Even Mplayer .not playin giving out the following errors.
vo: X11 running at 1024x768 with depth 24 and 32 bpp (":0" => local display)
It seems there is no Xvideo support for your video card available.
Run 'xvinfo' to verify its Xv support, and read Xv section of DOCS/video.html !
See 'mplayer -vo help' for other (non-xv) video out drivers. Try -vo x11
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device!
If neone helps me.. I will b very grateful to him...
Ok when you installed the drivers, did you just use Yast or did you follow the ATi installation instructions? As far as I know, if you just use Yast to install, it won't actually write over the default Mesa drivers so you still won't have OGL 3D acceleration.
