I’m running openSUSE 13.2 x86/64 Gnome 3.14.3 on a Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 mainboard w/ AMD 890GX / ATI Radeon HD 4290
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RS880 [Radeon [b]HD 4290] [1002:9714]
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device [1043:8454]
Kernel driver in use: radeon
I’ve tried some times to get fglrx running on this machine without success.
This install link for AMD FGLRX LEGACY for AMD legacy radeon hd2xxx to hd4xxx chipset (rs880) series does not contain instructions for openSUSE 13.2. http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx-legacy/raw-src/amd-ati-fglrx64-legacy.ymp
Another install link http://opensuse-community.org/amd64.ymp
say: This repository and drivers are for radeon hd5xxx chipset and above only. if you have a radeon from series hd2xxx to hd4xxx use the other repository http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglx-legacy
But the latter just respond: “The requested URL was not found on this server.”
So isn’t there available any fglrx that support this legacy(?) ATI graphical card?
Added the community ATI repo through Yast:
