I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 running SuSE 9.2 Pro. When I try to change from the RV350 NP drivers to the fgl8x00 drivers they always revert to the old RV350 NP drivers when I restart KDE. I've never been able to enable 3D. It always gives me:

3D Acceleration Impossible
The installed card cannot use
hardware 3D/OpenGL
acceleration.

How can I enable 3D?

suse has released the ati drivers for 9.2. get them here and follow the readme
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/sup.../X/ATI/suse92/

SuSE 9.2 Pro/Windows XP Pro
AMD Athalon 64 2800+MHz
512MB RAM
128MB ATI [b]Mobility]/b] Radeon 9700
Uniwill 258kA0 based laptop


My card is actually not listed there. I'm a little warry of attempting to install drivers for a PC on my laptop. Is there a difference between the drivers for the ATI Radeon 9700 and the ATI Mobility Radeon 9700? I know in windows there is a difference.

I am running the new drivers on SuSE 9.2 Pro with:

Acer Aspire 2012WLMi
ATI Radeon 9700 Mobility 64MB
512MB Ram
Centrino

Drivers work great for me.

Simply download the driver from ATI http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/l...ctsLINUXdriver
for SuSE 9.2 make sure to choose the X.Org 6.8 download.

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config /etc/X11/XF86Config-before-ati

rpm -Uh --force fglrx_6_8_0-8.8.25-1.i386.rpm

fglrxconfig

vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

change the driver"Keyboard" to driver"kbd"
save changes

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 /etc/X11/XF86Config

then restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace)

if it fails ... you can always

cp /etc/X11/XF86Config-before-ati /etc/X11/XF86Config

and startx again

hopethis helps

Zip

WOW! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

New drivers are now released. Go to the ATI website.

(ooops didnt read the whole thread..you all know this..disregard)

Success!

The 64bit drivers supplied by SuSE worked. I followed the directions supplied by the associated README to the letter. My system is as follows:

SuSE 92. Pro/Windows XP
AMD Athalon 64 2800+MHz
512MB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 128MB
Uniwill 258KA0 based laptop

SuSE Mirror list
The i386 and x86_64 bit drivers can be found in the following directory on your favorite mirror:
/suse/i386/suplementary/X/ATI/
Pick which verison of SuSE you have and whether you want i386 or x86_64 and you're set.

Before installation of the drivers I got about 440FPS with glxgears. After installation I got about 1590FPS.

Hope everyone will be able to get their graphics working as easily as I did.
