ati for linux
what distro of linux is the best for ati? they just will not work correctly with suse.

Can you be a bit more specific? What are you
trying to achieve? Installing ATI's binary drivers, have the card work with X' native drivers? Cheers, Tink |
thanks for the reply
i want to play 3d games. ut2004, americas army, etc. i have been using suse for the last 3 weeks. i always get a segmentation fault when trying to run these games. i have searched far and wide trying to get this corrected but it seems ati and suse just do not mix. as for your question, i do not really know what you mean. i installed the drivers which suse provided from there site. i know my drivers are installed correctly display: :0.0 screen: 0 OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc. OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9600 Generic OpenGL version string: 1.3 (X4.3.0-3.11.1) x1-6-00-07-e9-6d-24-c0:/usr/local/games/ut2004 # glxgears 8363 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1672.600 FPS 9229 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1845.800 FPS 9229 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1845.800 FPS |
Can you give an example of how you invoke the
game(s) and maybe the output from ~/.xsession-errors? According to glxgears the drivers are just dandy :) You could strace the games that crash, or check the output of ldd `which <game>` to see whether there's any problems with other libraries ... Cheers, Tink |
dude thanx for the quick reply.
you are talking over my head. if you can explain how to do what you ask i will be happy to do it. thanx again |
maybe i understand the first question
if i want to play ut2004 i log in as root i type ./ut2004 same with americas army then i alwayse get this fault x1-6-00-07-e9-6d-24-c0:/usr/local/games/ut2004 # ./ut2004 WARNING: ALC_EXT_capture is subject to change! Xlib: extension "XiG-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD" missing on display ":0.0". Signal: SIGSEGV [segmentation fault] Aborting. Crash information will be saved to your logfile. x1-6-00-07-e9-6d-24-c0:/usr/local/games/ut2004 # i cannot find where the logfile is |
I've done some of your homework
and found this: Quote:

You can use mandrake for ati video cards,
I use mandrake 10 and ati radeon 7000 with no GRAPHICAL problems. I dont like mandrake though, i want suse 9.1 pro. How did you install it? |
download the suse personal iso and boot to your cd rom and install it. just as easy as installing windows. just make sure you know which drive you install it on or it will wipe out your windblows install.
