Hi!!
I have laptop presario v5015ca with radeon xpress 200m and I try to play a 3D game,a warning came up I read

3D Hardware support not available

NO 3D graphics card is available or 3D support is not configured yet.However, the application uses or requires 3D hardware support

Can please someone help me.

Thnx schneemann

Hello I am rather new to linux but I just got help with this same problem today here is the thread

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...83#post2536583

I hope that helps you but you will need to go to the ati web site instead of the nvidia website (My card was a Nvidia)

I talk to a friend of my,he told me that on SUSE 10.2 there is no 3D game software at ATI for laptop presario v5015ca with radeon xpress 200m.
So I have wait for

Um, that makes no sense to me. As long as you have openGL support you should be able to install/run 3D games. They are not distro-specific (that I know of).

Add as an update repo or Smart channel and make sure you have a current driver. The Nvidia driver included with suse never supported openGL on my GeForce card and I have always gotten the driver by using as a smart channel.

viel gluck,

Just found this that may be related:

I have a Laptop with a ATI Radeon M9000, I installed the driver and worked ok, but had no 3D either, I've read somwhere that some ATI (linux driver) for laptop does not support 3D.

'nuther thought:
Getting 3D to work on the ATI Rage Mobility in my Thinkpad A22m is a pretty hopeless endeavor, but that is a pretty old chip, too.

Current situation with ATI(amd) drivers :

ATIs Matthew Tippett :

"AMD does monthly releases and in all likelihood, recent versions of underlying infrastructure will be supported in under a month from the release date. It is the process we have gone through for the last 2 years, and will continue to be that way."

"Regarding XOrg 7.2 support, the XOrg release goes out (possibly) tomorrow. I believe that there were DRI related changes that went in the final stages, so even if there was a pre7.2 driver available, it most likely would have failed for 3D somewhere between the release candidates and the final version."

hahah. Id like to say they are just a bunch of wanke... but no .
They managed to get the Vista drivers out of the door, when Vista was something like alpha, but no way are they fixing this BIGBIGBIG problem in their development process over at the linux side.

We have to wait for a month ?

NVIDIA here I come.

Well a friend of my he told me yesterday the drive what I`m looking for is not available,but in the future and thnx I can wait.

Newest ATI drivers support now Suse 10.2 \o/

Yes, the latest 8.32.5 driver supports Xorg 7.2. However I am having problems with the last stage of installation of the drivers.

When I do sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx the screen starts turning white and within 10 seconds the whole screen is blank. Xorg 7.2-92.1 i586, sax2 8.1-154.1, SuSE 10.2.

I have the same problem too, with XOrg 7.2 and fglrx 8.32.5. The display is broken (buttons, etc not showing), and after entering X the system hangs after about 15 sec. I guess there is something wrong with XOrg 7.2? Seems there is something wrong with the redraw function.

Please could you point me out where to down load all the software what I need to play 3D games on suse 10.2 games.

I have posted screenshots of my problem here. The laptop is an Acer 5104 with Turion X2 and Radeon Xpress 1100.

I will reinstall the OS this week when I have time, hope it fixes my problems.
