Installing Ati Drivers Opensuse

Hi Everybody, Please HELP! Voipswitch Codec Transcoding on this page. I have a problem with installation of ATI radeon driver. After installation i'm running 'sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx', the configuration failed and at the end of /var/log/SaX.log I have: (II) LoadModule: 'fglrx' (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/fglrx_drv.so (II) Module fglrx: vendor='FireGL - ATI Technologies Inc.' Compiled for 1.4.99.906, module version = 8.59.2 Module class: X. Fsx Acceleration Aircraft S here. Org Video Driver [atiddxSetup] X version mismatch - detected X.org 7.1.5.0, required X.org 7.4.-1.906 (II) UnloadModule: 'fglrx' (II) Unloading /usr/lib/xorg/modules//drivers/fglrx_drv.so (EE) Failed to load module 'fglrx' (module requirement mismatch, 0) (EE) No drivers available. Fatal server error: no screens found •. Isemionov (and anyone else with 'legacy' ATI cards): The 'legacy' Catalyst 9.3 ATI driver does not work under openSUSE 11.2; it does not support version 2.6.31 of the kernel or the current version of Xorg.

ATI has said that they are not going to update the old driver. After looking at their website, they do not appear to have made any changes to the legacy driver since March of this year. I do not know who put those packages together, made those 1-click installs, and edited the wiki, but whatever they slapped together is not supposed to work on 11.2, unless they have some sort of magic version of the Catalyst 9.3 driver recompiled for openSUSE 11.2 that nobody knows about.

Jan 05, 2012 This article is both an introduction to the graphics driver state of affairs on Linux and a howto for installing the NVIDIA binary drivers on openSUSE. AMD graphics (formerly ATI) is an important part of the openSUSE user experience. Here is short intro to used drivers, and links to configuration pages.

Is there some entity that I can report this to, so that if the package has a bug, it can be fixed? Or if the packages are bogus, they can be removed? I'm new to the whole wiki/bug reporting thing for openSUSE. This maybe a fix for the black screen issue in 11.2 for this card.

No promises, but we need testers to make sure it works. O And Please post if it does or does not work. --------------------- As far as getting that driver working it seems we are out of luck. Ati has as one member put it dumped their 3 year old cards on the side of the road and left them to find their own way. But at least their helping make a radeonhd driver that is open source. That should give those cards a chance at having more than 3 years of support.

So far with the radeon driver I have desktop effects working good, but where heavy 3d games are concerned well lets just say I am kick-in it old school.

I'm new to the whole wiki/bug reporting thing for openSUSE. Now I understand. Very bad for us (user's of legacy ATI cards).
