on opensuse that is a near impossibility for it not to be installed
unless you uninstalled a bunch of system files

you DO need to be root to use system programs BUT you would have received a DIFFERENT error message if you tried to run it as a normal user
it is in pciutils

I ran it as a normal user and that was the response (This is a fresh install)

Root gave me the reply that I posted above.

I know nothing about SuSE, is it possible the hardware is too new for this particular SuSE version?

you might need to install AMD's driver and not the opensource version that is preinstalled

Thanks

I used https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglr...-click-install

Didn't use the one click, but added the repository to YAST and then added the drivers.

Problem solved - Thank you for all your help. Sorry for making a double thread.

If you're adventurous and would rather not use proprietary software unless absolutely necessary, you might give the other FOSS driver a try. To do so most easily, uninstall the proprietary fglrx driver and the xf86-video-ati package. Make sure when you boot afterward that your boot stanza includes neither nomodeset nor x11failsafe nor radeon.modeset, and that there is no /etc/X11/xorg.con* file specifying use of a specific video driver. Then Xorg will attempt to use the modesetting driver built into 42.1's 1.17.2 Xorg server. It may be that your 2015 release Volcanic Islands Carrizo video is supported by the modesetting driver but not by the ATI driver. If attempting to do so brings back 800x600 mode, then you could try adding the X11:/Xorg repo for 42.1 and upgrading xorg-x11-server and xf86-video-ati to the newer versions from it.

install lspci to have it. when ever it tells you not found it means you do not have it installed, more then not. it could too be a path problem in some cases.

# which lspci
/sbin/lspci
# rpm -qf /sbin/lspci
pciutils-3.2.1-8.2.x86_64
41.1 does not exist. 42.1 has no package named lspci. 'zypper in pciutils' will retrieve and install lspci. Or, use YaST2.

pciutils-3.5.1_1 is what is in my repo so it sould yes be something to that effect .. sorry for not being more specifc ..
