ATI Radeon HD 3450 firmware issue on OpenSuSE 13.1
Hi,
I've installed OpenSuSE 13.1 on a system with an ATI Radeon HD 3450 card. I'd really like to have the 3D acceleration enabled, however, for some reason I cannot get it to work. The output of dmesg tells me there's something wrong when loading the firmware for the card: Code:
dmesg | grep drm Code:
ls -l /usr/lib/firmware/radeon/R600_rlc.bin Kind Regards, Louis |
Hi:
I'm not a rebuild expert on the kernel by far; sorry- Maybe a more experienced member with that will chime in. You probably already have but I'll ask anyway: did you install the Propritary ATI Linux Driver? http://support.amd.com/en-us/download I'm thinking that your Radeon 3450 is your on-board? What mobo do you have? http://forums.opensuse.org/english/g...hd-5450-a.html http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_graphics_cards http://forums.opensuse.org/english/g...rx-radeon.html HTH;) |

Thanks for the reply. No I have not installed the proprietary fglrx driver. Point is, I can't, since OpenSuSE 13.1 comes with Xorg 1.14, which is not supported by the legacy driver. But reading more and more on the issue I managed to get it working. So for everyone having the same issue, this is what caused it. The motherboard has an Intel chipset, and Linux was installed with that. Later on I added the Radeon card, which led to the issue described above. Reading all about having to recompile the kernel because the firmware should be included in the boadloader config, this morning I decided to reinstall the kernel package as well, as this results in the bootloader configuration being regenerated. Having done that, and rebooted the system, presto, it works like a charm. No need to downgrade my OpenSuSE to 12.2 to use the fglrx driver. Kind regards, Louis |
Thanks for sharing that you later added a radeon card.
So;...if you don't mind for clarification purposes:- Recompiling the kernel and reinstalling the kernel pkg's is what gave you the 3D acceleration that you wanted? Y/N ;) |
