Darkelve,

Well, you mentioned it, so I'm back here asking for help.

I bought 9.2 Pro last weekend, and want to try to drive my SONY LapTop from 2D to 3D.

The chipset that I have is the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200. Based upon comments here in this Forum I should be able to do this.

Over at the ATI site @ http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/linux/r...=5&submit=GO%21
I have several choices of what to download. I've downloaded the check.sh script, but cannot get it to run to let me know what version of XFree86 that is on my box. I've done this often enough in the past, but it just doesn't seem to want to let me know what I've got on board here. Hmm...

If I can download the best version of the new ATI SuSE drivers how would you recommend that I do this -- through a site with an .rpm package e.g. http://www.k-files.de/download.php?s=&acti...tails&dlid=1618, which I found in my Googling and use YaST, or via apt get?

Or should I try to go another route?
