Manual driver installation

Since ATI driver release 8.16.20 the ATI installer needs to be used
to create SUSE/Novell RPMs. Download the ATI installer from the ATI
website.

Advanced Micro Devices Inc. --> Support & Drivers --> Download graphics drivers

It is possible to create RPMs for the following SUSE/Novell distros.
This information has been retrieved by using the installer itself:

./ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg

[...]
SuSE Packages:
SuSE/SLED10-IA32
SuSE/SLES10-IA32
SuSE/SLED10-AMD64
SuSE/SLES10-AMD64
SuSE/SUSE102-IA32
SuSE/SUSE103-IA32 (openSUSE 10.3-IA32)
SuSE/SUSE110-IA32 (openSUSE 11.0-IA32)
SuSE/SUSE111-IA32 (openSUSE 11.0-IA32)
SuSE/SUSE102-AMD64
SuSE/SUSE103-AMD64 (openSUSE 10.3-AMD64)
SuSE/SUSE110-AMD64 (openSUSE 11.1-AMD64)
SuSE/SUSE111-AMD64 (openSUSE 11.1-AMD64)

Example:
--------
Create a RPM for SUSE 11.1 (AMD64) by using the installer.

./ati-driver-installer-8-12-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE111-AMD64

Afterwards install the created RPM by using the rpm command. In the
mentioned example above this would be:

rpm -Uhv fglrx64_7_4_0_SUSE111-8.561-1.x86_64.rpm

The postinstall script of this RPM will try to compile the required
kernel module. If this fails, you'll get a message how to proceed.

You still need to configure the driver with SaX2. Details can be found
in /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/README.SuSE.

Unfortunately you need to recompile the "fglrx" kernel module right
after any kernel (security) update. Use "fglrx-kernel-build.sh" for
this.
