Installing drivers for Radeon9600PR0, X.Org 6.8.1


Hello everyone, iam absolute newbie in linux, today i've installed suse linux 9.2 [this distro was recommended to me as newbie]. System installation was ok, trouble began when i tried to install videocard drivers;

My motherboard is MSI KT6 Delta with KT600 chipset, CPU AMD 2500 Barton, VideoCard Radeon 9600PRO 256MB, 512 MB of RAM.

I have kernel ver. 2.6.8-24-default, X.Org 6.8.1, but there are only drivers for version 6.8 on ati.com. I downloaded them and as superuser did this:
rpm -Uh --force fglrx_6_8_0-9.12.10-1.i386.rpm

and this was returned:

########################################### [100%]
########################################### [100%]
/sbin/ldconfig: File /usr/X11R6/lib/FGL.renamed.libGL.so.1.2 is too small, not checked.

When i reboot, X server crashes and i have to configure XFfree86 via XFree86config

PLEASE, anyone has any idea how to solve my problem?

Finally [after cca 2 hours] I found solution of my problem [and perhaps problem of many other eople].
Suse has its own ati drivers and it works properly on my distro [and machine].

I just dont know why is it so hidden...
