Hallo
I have a netbook with AMD C-50 APU with HD 6250 graphic.
It worked fine with opensuse 12.3 kernel 3.7.10-1.1 and catalyst 13.1 (fglrx). Then I updated the Kernel to version 3.7.10-1.4. On my hardware the fglrx can no more be build with this Kernel. I tried an new install with the makerpm-amd-13.1.sh script and had this output:
Kernel => 3.7.10-1.1-desktop
Detected => RPM package
Build => OK ]
Install => OK ]
Well, that’s normal. The fglrx kernel module is not installed for this kernel, and the radeon module isn’t loaded because it is blacklisted by the fglrx driver (Otherwise the fglrx driver couldn’t be loaded). And there is only one blacklist for all kernels…
As to the failing installation of the driver on the newer kernels:
There should be a log file somewhere which would show why it failed. I’m not sure but I think that’s in /usr/share/ati/…
But I just noticed that you try to install fglrx 13.1, which is the legacy driver. That one doesn’t work on 12.3 and doesn’t support your card anyway.
Please download the latest script here and try to install with that: http://www.sebastian-siebert.de/downloads/makerpm-amd-13.4.sh
Oops sorry. You are using makerpm-amd-13.1.sh, not makerpm-amd-13.1-legacy.sh, which would be the legacy driver. I mixed that up…:shame:
But nevertheless, you should try to install the latest version, maybe there have been fixes for building on newer kernels.
The release notes for 13.4 do say :

you are right

I tried the catalyst 13.4 but:
I had the same issue: fglrx doesn’t build with kernel 3.7.10-1.4
there is another issue with this version: I can’t change display-brightness with Fn + F6 / F7 ; so I can’t use it mobile
Well, I would need some error message to help you…
Try to install with the “-r” option, it should then create a report and tell you where. Upload this report to SUSE Paste and post a link here.
I now remeber that I have saved the output of the installation. I’am not used to post in forums, so I don’t know how to post a long text here. If you please could help a stupid man …
I will know post a part of the output with some errot messages of the installation of catalyst 13.1:
Warning:

Calling ‘depmod -a 3.7.10-1.4-default’ this may take a while…
I finally found the error:
The packages kernel-desktop-devel were not installed for the versions 3.7.10-1.4 and 3.7.10-1.11. @SimonHeimbach:
I’m afraid, that my postings will not help you. I’m sorry.
