Hi,

Upgraded this morning to Linux 2.6.39-30-desktop x86_64.

Now ati-driver-installer-11-5-x86.x86_64.run will not re-install.
Had to go back to radeon driver.

Is anyone else seeing the same issue.

regards,
michael

It concerns not only ati-divers. I have nvidia and must fall back to 260.19.44 and then reinstall 270.41.19.

This is the easiest way:

Skript: [makerpm-ati-11.5.sh](http://www.sebastian-siebert.de/downloads/makerpm-ati-11.5.sh)
SHA1: [makerpm-ati-11.5.sh.sha1](http://www.sebastian-siebert.de/downloads/makerpm-ati-11.5.sh.sha1)
  1. init 3
  2. chown root:root makerpm-ati-11.5.sh
    chmod 744 makerpm-ati-11.5.sh
  3. ./makerpm-ati-11.5.sh -i
    4.* reboot*

I’m still using 270.41.06 nvidia – was not a problem with 2.6.39.30 today, so I better stick with it.

No issue here either with NVIDIA’s 270.41.06, nor with latest beta 275.09. A question comes to mind: did you reboot before reinstalling the driver?

Yes of course.

Hi v_gabor,

This morning the package ‘fglrx64_xpic_SUSE114 Version: 8.850-1’ was automatically downloaded
and installed from AMD Graphics Drivers & Software

I assume this is a consequence of using the script from by Sebastian Siebert

One suprise was the included program /usr/bin/fgl_glxgears

Thanks again for the tip

Regards
michael

You’re welcome!

And…
If you will update your kernel, the script will recompile the fglrx module aromaticity under system boot.

No “aromaticity”
Rightly automatic :slight_smile:
