The Catalyst 9.11 proprietary drivers were very difficult to get working and even when I did get X to load I was hit by the slow resizing bug. Since I didn’t particularly feel like patching and rebuilding xorg-server, I switched to using the radeon open-source driver and decided to live without compositing.
The 9.12 drivers appear to be completely hosed, at least for me, and support requests to AMD are apparently being ignored because all their support crew are on holidays.
In any case, I’m pretty disgusted with AMD and would prefer to get a working final solution using the radeon drivers. It looks like such a solution has finally been merged into the latest kernel.
Is there any plan to upgrade to 2.6.32 through YaST, or will I have to build my own kernel if I want to use .32 with OpenSUSE 11.2?
typically these bleeding edge kernels run very well, and the biggest problem is usually locating additional packages that you may need… which are spread all over the repo’s, but conveniently collected at the ftp site of mirrors.kernel.org/opensuse/factory
Hy, this is my first post, i’m compiling (again) the 2.6.32.3 (x64)
First time just to have a new kernel to try with the ati driver, just because i think i exhausted all the possibilities whit the stock kernel in 11.2, one click installer, manual download, radeonhd, fake driver, uncountable blacklisted modules ecc ecc.
It always ended with a rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
Same thing whit (is with or whit ???) the fresh 2.6.32.3 -.-
