This thread has been so helpful in getting something to sort of work. I hand crafted my XF86Config file by cut and paste to get the ATI driver to work. Well sort of.

I get the display, and if you run the fglrxinfo, it does show the correct driver as being installed.

The problem is that it doesn't work all that well. If I run any 3d GL application I get a screen with misplaced artifacts. For instance, if I run GL-117, the ground is drawn in the wrong order that makes flashing bits of ground appear all over the screen.

I am running a quite vanilla copy of SUSE9.2 that I installed last night. I have an ATI 9800pro card. Has anyone had any success with the driver in accelerated 3D graphics?

The other problem that I should mention is that when I swap between GUI and command line (CTRL-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-F7) the system locks and the top half of the graphic screen goes all corrupted. I think there might be a more underlying part to this problem.

Thanks,

I also have an ATI 9800 pro card and a recent install of suse9.2 on an asus a8v deluxe with AMD 64 3500+. Took a couple of attempts to get the display working properly. Only wanted to work when UseInternalAGPGART was no, otherwise I just got a blank screen.

fglrxinfo displays the correct driver and fgl_glxgears is giving a decent framerate. I also have the same problem in GL-117, although switching between console and GUI works fine.

I have some code that relies heavily on Open GL's fragment programs, so if they work perfect I will consider the installation successful.

Suse has released their own rpm's that encapsulate the new ATI drivers and install them properly

just pick your architecture and follow the readme. Took me maybe 5 minutes to get direct rendering.

Cheers!
