Has anyone had success with the recent ATI prop. driver?
I'm a bit hesitant to install the Proprietary driver from the ATI site, as it's borked my distros in the past (I'll admit, I really had no clue what I was doing when I ran fglrxconfig), but I'm wondering if anyone has had luck using it with SUSE 10.
Also this means that you don't have 3d acceleration available.
Did you try to install the ATI driver? (ati-driver-installer-8.24.8-xxx.run). If you did, how? you can know the result of the installation by looking at this file:
Code:
cat /usr/share/fglrx/fglrx-install.log
You can post the content of this file, so we can give you more hints.
Also, you can test if you have the kernel module installed by typing this command as root:
Code:
# modprobe fglrx
If it complains with an error saying that it couldn't find the module then you definitely know that you didn't install successfully the ATI driver.
