I have an HP Pavilion DV6, and I'm running openSUSE 11.2. The graphics card built in to my laptop is an ATI Radeon HD3200. There isn't yet a one-click installer for the proprietary driver, so I need to install it the hard way. Unfortunately, that's not working. When I tell it
Code:
./ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE112-AMD64
it spits out

The screen brightness settings (in KDE4) and its corresponding Fn-hotkeys don't work. (Fn-volume works fine though)

Installed smartdimmer but it doesn't work either.


Would be grateful if someone could offer assistance in resolving this issue.

openSUSE has problems detecting if the AC Adapter is plugged in or not. Say if it's plugged in and I unplug it, it still thinks it's plugged in and charging. (Or vice versa). The actual charging/discharging takes place normally and the percentage display is also accurate - it's just that it doesn't detect properly if it's plugged in or not.

This is not a huge issue, but it gets annoying as it uses a wrong power profile - so it could be on Aggressive Powersave if I'm plugged in, or worse, on Performance when I'm running low on battery!

One thing to be noted though is it *does* detect the adapter status properly at bootup. Oh, and another thing to be noted that is also properly detects if the battery is being charged or discharged, but it can't guess if it's plugged in or not!





Would be grateful if someone could offer assistance in resolving this issue.

And it worked OK.
Since I upgraded to 11.1, things started to go badly downward. 11.1 (for me) is a total mess (won't go into details, just didnt work properly).

Because of ATI driver (which didnt work in 11.1 and any distro with kernel 2.6.28), I installed Mint 6.
It worked properly, but I still had trouble with Atheros and MADWIFI... then I decided to ignore ATI driver, use open without 3D, so I installed Mint 7 (KDE) which is an Excellent distro... I don't like debian ways, but I managed to live with it till 11.2 comes out.

...and it finally did.

As I read, new driver is X2100 up... Others are in open radeon driver. Swell.. even if 11.2 reckognized X2300 and 3D worked, devil just didn't give me any peace, and I installed newest ATI driver.
...and screwed the system...
Since it was fresh install, who cares, reinstalled it in no time.
Actually for X2300, open radeonhd driver works OK. I don't know about performance, but in all of that hassle I had, I just gave up 3D.

Now... problem on any card I had, with 3D is that SMPlayer, RealAudio or whatever I use, flickers while playing. Cure is to disable 3D acceleration.

Question:
Is there any way to make something (settings on global level, maybe) so that my video players don't flicker when I am with 3D enabled? ]]> Laptop beli0135 http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/laptop/425877-my-sad-ati-story-question-any-card-3d-kde.html Title bar disapear http://forums.opensuse.org/hardware/laptop/425875-title-bar-disapear.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 14:21:05 GMT Hi, Just I did install openSUSE 11.2 on my laptop.

some of them are fine, some of them not.
More often is happening for konsole, krusader.
