Hi all,
being very new to linux i'll try to explain this the best i can.... so please bear with me
So, i'm using openSuSE 10.3 x64, with kernel 2.6.22.9-0.4 and Xorg-x11 7.2-135.2. I tried to install the drivers following the instructions opensuse_ATI HOWTO. It has worked for me before while i was using 10.2 and the 8.40 drivers. But not now.
Now on to the problems:
1. Sax2 says it can not offer activation of the 3D subsystem because the card/driver does not support 3D, and freezes on exit.
Driver Instalation goes through fine, no errors, although some warnings were seen. I go on to "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx" after the aticonfig command, and sax2 starts fine... except for the note mentioning that no 3D activation is available. I go on to configure display size and resolution, test and save. No problem here. When i click exit i get a black screen with a strip that turns white with time, on the lower part of the display. If i type reboot and press enter, without actually seing anything, the computer will reboot.
2. fgl_glxgears does not run at all.
glxinfo and and fglrxinfo provide the correct information, although i'm not sure, from looking at the ati_howto, if the "client glx" part of glxinfo should say ATI and not SGI
3. Desktop graphical corruption.
I have 2 small rectangles at the lower right area of the desktop.. with weird colours. If i scroll some page on firefox or some pdf it changes slightly.
And these are the problems i can see so far.
I went through the troubleshooting section of the opensuse_ati_howto with no success.
...so i hope some of you can give me some hints
thanks,
Carlos
