Permission Denied when installing ATI Driver?
 
I am trying to install my x86_64 ATI Radeon Xpress 200 video card drivers.

I logged onto root and tryed installing the drivers, but when I try and load the installer, I get Permission Denied. But, I am logged on root. P.S. Running openSUSE 10.2.

Thanks.

Logging in as root is generally frowned upon. Log in as user, cd to the directory with the drivers, run

Code:
sudo chmod +x ati*
sudo ./ati*

Or, if you prefer, su, then run those commands without sudo.
