Ati 3d


Hi,

i try to install the drivers of my ATI 9200SE graphic card in Suse 9.1. Everytime i run the rpm command i get an error that fglrx is in use and in the end that the drivers are installed succesfully. If then i write 'fglrxconfig', after the procedure i don't have 3d support.

linux:/home/ioannidis/ATI # rpm -Uh --force fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.i386.rpm
########################################### [100%]

*** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.

- trying a sample load of the kernel module
ERROR: Module fglrx is in use
done.
Installed: qt3 (gcc 3.2) based control panel application
===
ATI display drivers successfully installed
please run 'fglrxconfig' now
===

How can i install the drivers and how can i stop fglrx? I tried many other methods i read in the forum but most of them stops in a message for fglrx. I tried the command ps -aux to find fglrx and kill it but i didn't found it in the list. But when i write lsmod | grep fglrx it says that it is being used by 1.

Thanks!
