Default Problem with 3D Graphics driver
I recently installed opensuse. I have a 64bit Acer Laptop Model 5535-5452 with Athlon X2 2.1 Ghz, 3gb ram and ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics card.

The problem that I am having is with graphics. I tried to install the graphics driver from ATI repository at opensuse and then initiated SaX2 according to the easy guide. but that completely screwed up my display and I got a blank screen everytime I booted. The only thing that worked was when I downloaded the latest drivers .run file from ATI's own website. IN that case I am able to change my resolution and color depth. I can also view some videos as well but my 3d acceleration is greyed out in the SaX2 window. Whenever I want to enable the desktop effects it says that I have to check my X Configuration. Is there any way to enable the 3D feature and hardware acceleration. please help

Default Re: Problem with 3D Graphics driver
log out. When new login appear switch to the terminal by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1, login as root user (you know your root password - right), and type:
Code:
init 3
then
Code:
SaX2 -r -m 0=fglrx
then
Quote:
reboot
