just installed openSUSE 11.2 64 bit on my machine, installed all available updates plus gcc plus kernel sources, then tried to install Catalyst 9.10 (latest available from AMD for Linux x64), and it doesn’t work. These are the messages from fglrx-install.log:
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Error] Kernel Module : Kernel module build environment not found - please consult readme.
I don’t know how to proceed and properly install Catalyst 9.10. Please help me if you can.
Well, if nobody can help me with that I will reinstall OpenSUSE (once again … haha, how could I believe this would work after a single installation attempt, silly me), and if the problem persists, I will dump Linux for good and see how I can restore my Win7 MBR.
U don’t have to reinstall 11.2,do this will remove the installed fglrx driver :
-su
-cd /usr/share/ati
-sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
Reboot then key in 'sax2 -r -m 0=radeonhd
I’m using 11.2 KDE4.3.1 x86-64 on my Compaq Presario laptop with ATI Radeon HD3200 graphic card,I successfully installed ATI proprietary 9.11 graphic driver & activate it. Everything is smooth. Do this :
-su
-zypper in kernel-source linux-kernel-headers kernel-syms module-init-tools make gcc
-cd /home/username/Documents (I assumed u put the ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run in Documents)
-sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run
-/usr/bin/aticonfig --initial
Then reboot.
Go Configure Desktop>Desktop>Desktop Effects,tick ‘Enable Desktop Effect’,follow simple instruction,u’ll activate yr graphic card.
btw, I also know how to invoke the Catalyst installer and run aticonfig (this is about my 100th or 15th OpenSUSE installation). I also have already installed the kernel sources via YaST.
I suspect they might have temporarily pulled the 9.11 driver, I downloaded it few days after 9.11 came out, but there were some worrying feedback in their forums which put me off installing it.
