Caution:
There’s already a newer Xserver version (1.14.1 vs. 1.13.2 on oS12.3) in the Xorg repo, so just upgrading the xf86-video-ati won’t work!
You should add the repo to your repository list and then switch all your packages to the ones from that repo.
See SDB:Vendor change update - openSUSE Wiki
But don’t blame me, if you have problems afterwards…

is this what i should switch to?
But this repo contains development versions of the packages for the next openSUSE version.
They are not really tested yet and could contain severe bugs!
That said, I did use this repo in the past and didn’t encounter problems…
But be sure you don’t miss an imported package in the upgrade.
Better do it exactly as described in the link I posted above (“Full repository Vendor change”).
And if there are conflicts, better ask.
Otherwise you probably won’t be able to start the graphical system anymore (not even in failsafe mode)…
terrifying…it looks as if the gui for yast has changed since they last updated the tutorial if i’m not wrong…just want to be safe;) how would i go about doing it via zypper?
Oh i did it kind of. I couldn’t figure out how to do a full repository vendor change (because apparently the gui for Yast has changed) , so i just added the repo. But when ever i try to update i get this.
Up to this point I’m thinking of reinstaiing openSUSE due to the system lag that was caused when i messed with that one conf file.
“zypper update” won’t change your packages to another repo. That’s intended behavior (“vendor stickiness”).
You could do the upgrade by issuing:
zypper dup --from Xorg
(that is mentioned in the link I gave, below the YaST way…)
For the YaST GUI: It just uses themes now, so the look is slightly different, but it more or less works the same way still.
But I think the repositories tab is not shown by default. You have to select “Repositories” in the “View” selector first.
So you can do it either way, YaST or zypper, what you prefer…
Problem: xf86-video-intel-2.20.19-2.1.1.i586 requires X11_ABI_VIDEODRV = 13.1, but this requirement cannot be provided
Solution 1: deinstallation of xf86-video-intel-2.20.19-2.1.1.i586
Solution 2: keep obsolete xorg-x11-server-7.6_1.13.2-1.2.1.i586
Solution 3: break xf86-video-intel-2.20.19-2.1.1.i586 by ignoring some of its dependencies
Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/3/c] (c):
Well, the intel driver is not yet in the repo. You can deinstall it (or ignore the dependency, solution 3) as you don’t need it anyway, but I think you will get more conflicts afterwards.
The issue is that the buildservice hasn’t finished building all packages in the XOrg repo yet.
So maybe it’s better to wait a day or two before trying again…
Up to this point I’m thinking of reinstaiing openSUSE due to the system lag that was caused when i messed with that one conf file.
Do you mean the two changes mentioned in this thread?
You can easily revert them:
Remove the line
Option "NoAccel" "True"
from /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf (I guess this one makes your system slow, so try this first without changing the other one)
Remove the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf (I think this one would have only effect with the updated xf86-video-ati anyway, but I’m not sure…)
If you choose that, the “Repository” tab should appear just like on the screenshot.
Just select there the “XOrg” repo you added, and a list with all the packages in that repo should appear.
After that you should click on “Switch system packages to the versions in this repository…” right above that package list. (just like on the screenshot)
And then you only have to click on “Accept” and the upgrade should begin…
Ah, you were in “Software Repositories”, that’s why it looked completely different…rotfl!
That one is just for managing (add/remove,enable/disable,…) your repositories.
You have to start “Software Management” to install the packages.
The rest should be clear now, I think…
As I said: not all packages in the repo are ready yet.
So either try Solution 1 or 3 as you don’t need the intel driver anyway (but there still could be other conflicts as well), or wait a few days until the repo is built completely…
It looks like it worked…i did option 1. But there is still that major lag. Before trying to solve the glitching issue it was a lot better.:\ Like i can’t even open chromium without my computer freezing. I’m posting all this in Windows.
