Hi guys, i have a very big nice problem with my ATI RadeonHD 3200 GPU. I have tried almost every how-to that i see on the internet to install the property ATI #@#$ Driver.
OS: openSUSE 11.2 RC2 (64bit)
First, i try to install by the repo, BUT, the repo www2.ati.com/suse/112 do not sync (refresh) with zypper. SO i try to add this repo on www2.ati.com/suse and works fine. AFTER that, I have listed the packages on the repo, zypper se -r ATI, and for fun I see that I dont have support for -desktop kernel, only default, smp, bigsmp, things like that.
S | Name | Summary | Type
–±----------------------±-------------------------------------------±-------
| ati-fglrx-kmp-bigsmp | ATI “fglrx” driver kernel module | package
| ati-fglrx-kmp-debug | ATI “fglrx” driver kernel module | package
| ati-fglrx-kmp-default | ATI “fglrx” driver kernel module | package
| ati-fglrx-kmp-smp | ATI “fglrx” driver kernel module | package
| x11-video-fglrx | X Window display driver for the ATI grap-> | package
OK. What i do? I go do ATI wiki page on openSUSE, and, try to do this wich Hard way. I follow all steps, first, installing all packagers for 64bit users, ALL, 64 and 32bits. After that, i run the driver that I have download from ATI and, for fun, this not work. I can’t create a rpm package for openSUSE 11.2 amd64.
SO, after that, what i do? I follow some pages on the google for this problem, and some threads where, without success. The problem is when i configure the Xorg with fglrx driver, the performance of radeonhd (free) is better than fglrx.
Some threads talk that i need to create a link of the real lib on lib64 dir for lib dir, and i have created this, but without success. Others threads talk that i need to ONLY make aticonfig --initial, without run sax2, and i have make this, but without success…
AFTER all theses pages, i think that the Best way is to install kernel-default and use the ATI repo. BUT after install the kernel, install the drivers from repo (ignoring some erros), i don’t have success because the Xorg dont find the fglrx module, and the kernel do not up the fglrx module… rotfl!
Anyone can help-me?
tkz!
