Just to warn you, Ati driver page, here and elsewhere:
Graphics Drivers & Software
Graphics Drivers & Software
“allows” you to click on “type of machine”, then “product family” then “product” then Operating system" then “display results”…
Then says “We do not support”, and redirects you to mfr’s website, which of course, also don’t support (in my case HP/Compaq)
Please go there and complain in stiff language how bad this is.
I’m confused at what you point is. You Sig says you have NVIDIA. I tried the link tried a random selection and found the driver. So what card chip you looking to find? And yes ATI has dropped support for a bunch of older cards.
Sorry Gogal, I did not explain clearly, I have installed openSuse on my laptop which has an ATi iGP, and looked for a driver for it; openSuse installed a useable driver “Radeon” but I went looking for another, and found that ATi passes the buck to HP/Compaq, who, in turn, say they do not support…
Fair enough, IMO but Ati SHOULD provide a driver for those of us who have nothing better to do, and would like (or would not mind) installing it “the hard way”
Ok still don’t see it since you are not saying which ATI card/chip it is. As I said I went to the URL entered some random card and I go the correct driver page displayed.
It is possible that the chip is just no longer supported by ATI. But we don’t know that until to say which chip…:\
Ok looking at the page and notebooks I see the problem.

TY Gogal, I will have a look, but fact is go to ati site… (as I did…)
Ok assume you have a HP/Compaq zv5014EA and want a Linux driver…
I AM very stupid, but surely 99% of us ARE very stupid, and big orgs like Ati and HP/Compaq should get used to that fact?
For some reason, ATi is being dumb here. The proprietary driver from ATi will work for you, but you can only get it if you say you have a desktop card, not a laptop card.
Hi
Is that system also available pre installed with SLED? There are some
customization scripts they add for video drivers… Have you also
