Man, this install has been nothing but problems/headaches >:(…it’s a learning experience I suppose :slight_smile:

Anyways, I just recently installed OpenSUSE 11 64bit, and I can’t seem to get it to recognize my graphics card. I’m using a Radeon HD 4850 right now

…how should I approach this first?

Alrighty! Disregard my last post, I figured it all out. lol!

For those that care, I went ahead to ATI’s website
ATI Catalyst™ 8.11 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver

and ran the ati-driver-installer-8-11-x86.x86_64.run file, and followed all the instructions that came with it. Really quick install, and now I’ve got my lovely 1680x1050 resolution :).
