That would have been “directory /usr/src/linux-2.6.34-12”.
What’s the output of:
uname -r
It should be : 2.6.34.7-0.7-desktop or 2.6.34.7-0.7-default.
If it says 2.6.34-12, you should update to the latest kernel first by running:
zypper patch
Then reboot in console mode, make sure you have kernel 2.6.34.7-0.7 and run atiupgrade again.
Actually, the script should work with any kernel, but something’s wrong here between kernel and installed kernel sources versions (if any).
for info :
rpm -qa | grep kernel
Installing the latest kernel first would make things easier and is better and safer anyway.

*O, please_try_again, thank you very much! I booted in normal mode without “nomodeset”! You’re really cool! I spent 3 days on the Ubuntu forums - and I’m so nobody helped with this problem. Once again, thank you **guys *for your help. Topic can be closed.
You should append “3” preceeded by space before booting in the boot options. You’ll get a text mode login. Login as root, and type:
/usr/local/bin/atiupgrade
When you to that, do you still get this error message.
When I boot with the prefix "3"and prescribe this line - nothing happens. This driver is worse than the one you have? I see you have a 64 bit system - I have 32 bit. Like all works quickly and without glitches.
It should just boot in text mode on any system and you should see a text login prompt: login:
ATI drivers from the repo are always a little bit outdated. Depending on the model of your graphic card, you might encounter issues or not (like the black squares you got with Firefox - this is a known issue)
Don’t worry about that. The ATI installer that the script download is the same for 32 and 64bit systems. It will compile the 32bit version of the module on your system. The end package might have a slightly different name but you haven’t reach that point yet.
Notice that if you’re happy with the ATI driver you have now, you can continue using it. Using the latest driver is not needed in any case.
Yes. I mean, I’m logged in as “root”, enters a password and then - /usr/local/bin/atiupgrade . Waited about 5 minutes - but nothing happened.
And what about older drivers - I will look at work - if something is totally unacceptable - I write - as long as it feels good, and the movies playing and a browser running at the same speed as in Windows.
OK, I see. At this point, the script is trying to download this file:
[noparse]https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run[/noparse]
It might take a while depending on your connection speed and the server load. If the script finds the file ati-driver-installer-10-12-x86.x86_64.run in the current directory, it won’t try to download it again and proceed with the installation.
