it appears that the version of the headers is different. Should I recompile kernel headers then ? How I do ?

I remember seeing something about a change in policy a short time ago regarding the versioning of kernel-headers versus that of kernel-source and -syms. Sorry I can't recall the specifics right now. But my properly running system exhibits the same inconsistency (kernel-headers a few revs back from -default).

It appears that you are frustratingly close to having a good fglrx module in your 64 bit runtime environment.

I think this is a matter of module building fundamentals. Look at the output of usr/sbin/atigetsysteminfo.sh, see if there is some clue regarding gcc versions or libraries, etc., that could resolve this situation. For instance, try building some other modules, see if you are set up for the basics. Then tackle the fglrx module.

I take it that you have the kernel development files, etc installed already.
If not, go to yast>software and select the kernel development packages.
Also make sure that no old versions of te ati driver files are on the system, this will stop them installing.

If I was in the same position as you with everyone saying the ati card works, I would try ding a fresh install and then adding the ati repo and drivers from the repo first.
This would probably be quicker andless pain than what you have had so far. (Else try a minimal install on a new partition to see if it works.) If you installed with the default settings, /home should be on a separeate partition so you won't lose your data and only need to re-install your apps.

[ket_nn]

as I said in the previous reports neither SuSe Community driver nor native ATI driver work.
I tried to play around with the ATI driver 9.1. It looks like upon installing (this time from the rpm package fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE110-8.573-1.x86_64.rpm) the fglrx module is compiled with success, however, doesnt load then. Pls, look:

You are trying lots of strategies, it is a bit confusing to sort out.

I would suggest getting back to a baseline. Run /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh. Also verify no fglrx rpm packages installed.

Triple check you have all the build prerequisites for the ati package (gcc, etc). Do a couple of simple builds, convince yourself that your environment is OK.

Then get a newish ati....run file (I have had good experiences with 9.4 and 9.6), go to runlevel 3 as root, and run it. Accept all defaults, ignore all complaints.

Enter

aticonfig --initial

Reboot. No sax2.

Relogin as a regular user. Inspect your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Check out the compiz forums, specifically the ati/openSuse thread. There are hundreds of entries. If you don't see your problem described, ask for help. Yes, it is compiz oriented but they are quite knowledgeable and helpful folks.

You don't seem to have followed my original reply. When you have downloaded the ati installer, login to a terminal as root and type: init 3.
This will take you to single user mode.
Now login as root again and go to the directory you save the ati installer and type sh ./ati(whatever filename).run
This gives you the install program.
Accept everything and then when the installer starts, accept all the defaults and an automatic install.
Once installed, type /usr/bin/aticonfig --initail.
Reboot and start in level 3 again (type 3 in the grub boot options).
Login again as root and then run: sax2 -r -m -0=fglrx.
Configure the xserver and exit.
Test by typing startx.
If everything is fine, reboot and login as usual.

I have pcs with 3 different ati cards- 2 separate cards and one integrated. This has worked for me every time.
Choosing the rpm generation has never worked for me. Neither has the graphic install running in an xserver context.

Hi,

I did EXACTLY as you said and installed the 9-6 version driver. This time no black screen and lockup and the X booted. However module fglrx was not loaded, as lsmod | grep fglrx renders empty string.

Then, modprobe fglrx

OK, once you have installed the drivers and then typed aticonfig --initial, when you reboot, boot to run level 3 again login as root. Configure sax with the command:
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx

This will load the driver and configure sax.

It is a bit boring to repeat this procedure another time just to show that the fglrx module doesn't load.
I'm writing your from the currently running X, right after your "aticonfig --initial, when you reboot, boot to run level 3 again login as root. Configure sax with the
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx"
Well, now Sax2 is showing Card: VESA Framebuffer Graphics, and a "cross" for Activate 3D Acceleration.

Does this tell you something ?:
modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.25.20-0.4-default/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format

Do I have not to re-emphasize that the fglrx module is not loaded and CANNOT be loaded at all, as far as it is badly compiled ???
I would like to say there, that the "aticonfig and Sax2" is not a Merlin's magic staff and will not load the badly compiled and invalid fglrx module.
I would need an idea how to unravel the reason why the compilation of fglrx sucks...

Thanks much in advance for any FRESH idea
