Hi,

I installed Suse 9.3, but it seems like the 3d acceleration of my graphics card is not working. I'd appreciate if someone can give me a step-by-step instruction on howto install the drivers for the ATI card.

I already tried the instruction from suse (ftp.suse.com/pubftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/ATI/suse92/i386/fglrx/8.14.13/)

When I run the make modules and make install commands I get warnings that some files (or directories?) are missing. And when I play OpenGL games the framerate is miserable so I assume that the 3d acceleration is not working. How can I make sure if acceleration is on/off?

Thx

For SUSE 9.3 you should use the driver for 9.3!

sorry, that was a mistake in my post. I actually used the driver for 9.3, just posted the wrong url

I don't think you can expect more detailed instructions than those in the README. Could you post your error messages/warnings from the module compilation?

------------------------
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.7'

WARNING: Symbol version dump /usr/src/linux-2.6.11.4-21.7/Module.symvers is missing; modules will have no modversions.

-------------------------
that's the output from make modules. make install seems to have no warnings/errors...

thanks

Hmm, the first error could be solved by installing the package 'kernel-syms', but this should not be important for the function of the driver. The modversions are needed to allow to use a driver after a kernel update.

The second warning doesn't tell me much. Did you update the kernel modules as well (km_fglrx)? Maybe you need to wait for someone more experienced with these drivers than me.

I think I already did that, but I'll try it again. Thanks for your help
