-> linux drivers and software -> blablabla

A few pages on from that, you'll have to choose a product type. You should choose the Radeon drivers link, not the notebook drivers. The drivers you get are absolutely fine for a Mobility 9700 (I've got one myself).

after the installtion i restart my laptop then i m not able to start my desktop mode!!?

What do you mean by that? Are you just seeing a completely blank screen? Or can you no longer log in to KDE / Gnome? Or something else?

it is something like DOS mode, i don't know how to run the KDE GUI.

So you've got a command prompt then. Try running 'startx' (without the quotes).

in the ATI site they asked my to run the Check.sh file and that to check my XFree86 version but after download the file i type in the command prompt:
sh check.sh

but i'm not able to get the result of my XFree86 version!!?
anyway the driver works fin but there are something related to the 3D Acceleration.

still my 3D Acceleration
Unavailable

Ah, I see. SuSE 9.2 uses X.org, so you need to use this version of the RPM, not the XFree86 ones.

the Xorg 6.8.1.0 is installed but agin i cannt login to my GUI

i type 'startx'
but i recive errors


====screen msg=====

what i will do ?

OK, did you run fglrxconfig as part of the install. Even if you did, it might be worth running it again, and selecting some conservative values for now.

cool


i reconfiger my .conf profile and i restart my Suse and it look so nice, but i don't have and type of support for my3D Acceleration?

becuse at my YaST in the Hardware tab i click on Graphics Card and Monitor and it show me that my 9700 Driver is working fin but

the 3D Acceleration it show me that it is Unavalible?

I type in the terminal "fglrxinfo"

result :

Display:0.0 screen: 0

OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: MOBILITY RADEON 9700 Generic
OpenGL version string: 1.3.4893 (X4.3.0-8.10.19)





and in the "glxgear"

frames was 2054.800FPS




?

WOW and on my radeon 320m WITH direct rendering I get only 200fps...........

That's all working properly I think. YaST doesn't really understand about the new drivers, so it thinks 3D acceleration is still unavailable. Frame rates around 2000 is what's reported for me as well.
