Hi guys, I had to change my MB. The new one has ATi on-board, the old one was NVidia. I booted to level 3 and un-installed the nvidia driver, using nvidia-uninstall. On reboot, the OSS Radeon driver seems to load fine. But, I can’t run glxgears or glxinfo. Here are the outputs:
glxgears
Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
glxinfo
name of display: :0
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual or fbconfig
The on-board card and driver is:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS740 [Radeon 2100]
Subsystem: Giga-byte Technology Device d000
Kernel driver in use: radeon
Some googling suggests that this card cannot use a proprietary driver in 12.3, even the legacy one.
I have updated mesa and the other files by doing a vendor change to http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_12.3/X11:XOrg.repo
Here is the whole of /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

I notice that it tries to load an NVidia component. Is this what is causing the problem? If so, how do I stop this happening? And if not, what could be the cause and solution?
