Hi,
I’ve just installed ATI drivers for my X1950XTX card on Opensuse 11 64bits
It states that hardware acceleration is enabled.
Nevertheless, OpenGL is still managed by bull**** Mesa.
How can i manage OpenGL by the graphic card?
Thanks
I had this same issue and I spent at least 48 hours trying to figure it out, sooooo anooying.
Ok the solution is to download the drivers directly from ati’s website, dont use that one click thing that suse suplies because it wont get opengl working.
But before you install the .run file from ati, you will need to install all of the linux development packages and kernel source from yast2. These packages are extremely imporntant, the ati driver will not install without them.
Note: make sure your kernal-source package is the same version as your installed kernel.
Once you have all of the said packages installed you can open up the terminal and login as root.
cd to the directory that you downloaded the ati .run driver and type sh drivername.run
Select automatic installation, do not do the rpm option.
then type: aticonfig --initial -f
then:init 3
then:sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
(if you type sax2 -r without the -m 0=fglrx it will use the old radeonhd drivers for some reason…Bad)
then exit sax2 and type: restart
That should be it!
open the terminal again and type fglrxinfo and it should show ati instead of that stupid mesa.
Please if there are any admins reading this, can you add this to ATI - openSUSE because this is the only way to get opengl working with opensuse11.0 with ati drivers.
What do you mean with:

What packages do you mean? I tried to install the ati file mentioned above but opengl is not working. So I have to do what your were writing about.
Thx
I have tried those commands for sax2 and aticonfig but been unsuccessful to get X to load on my second adapter.
It seems from searches some have been able to get more than dual-head working but I have not been able to get it to work on OS 11 or 11.1 RC1.
