Hello, I did search, but couldn't find what I was looking for.
I just installed Opensuse on my desktop. It did not detect my GPU, and is currently running in 1024x720 in framebuffer mode. It looks pretty bad on my 1440x900 widescreen. I couldn't find presets for my monitor in the hardware config, either. So I went to the suse wiki (http://en.opensuse.org/Howto/ATI_Dri...stall_packages) and tried to follow the ati driver install instructions, but to no avail. I am new to linux and have no idea how to run the commands correctly. I'm worried that the card simply isn't being recognised by the OS.
Call me lazy (I am) but I expected the OS to detect it and ask if I wanted to install drivers.
I also tried to use Konvenient Suse to get it done, but I couldn't even install that.
I have a similar problem in Ubuntu, though it is limited to incorrect resolution rather than being able to install the drivers.
Signed,
Incompetent and at your mercy.
PS:
The monitor is a Belinea 1925S1W. The prod. # was not listed in the monitor list in Yast.
