I updated to the latest version found here:
Index of /repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_11.2
Im using radeon opensource driver at the moment, but when doing glxinfo i get this:
gabriel@dhcppc1:~> glxinfo

Is there any way of going back to Xserver 1.8.0 ? As it seems 1.9.0 may be causing the troubles, and denying me the option of Catalysts.
Thanks
Ok, i got the glx to work, it was just some packages from the repository which were not working, and got un-updated by its maker.
Issue now is, can i go back to 1.8.0 ?
Remove the repo you added and look for all the X11 packages, they’ll be showing red in software manager
You can always check your install log to see what packages were added at that time /var/log/zypp/history
But that will bring me back to Server 1.6.5, bit too old
So you mean there was an update in the repo you added.
Theres only 1 repository available, but when i press on “switch packages to this repository”, i get a message saying “keep old xorg server or delete xorg-x11-driver-video”.
As im going to use catalyst, would it matter if i delete driver-video?
Sorry but you lost me.
/repositories/home:/Freespacer:/X11:/XOrg75/openSUSE_11.2/
Which has server 1.9.0 but its incompatible with the xorg-x11-driver-video files.
There really has to be something substantially wrong with the OOS/Updates packages to be going down the road you are.
So it seems, and now it got worse. I disabled any X11 repositories, and just changed to the standard opensuse 11.2 version. When starting the pc, i get the typical bar loading up and then it throws me out to command line
Ill start downloading 11.3 right away, as this seems a dead end, sadly.
My last option was addind the XOrg repository for 11.2 through command line yast, but when launching Yast update module, i get
UI Syntax Error
Yes, i did.
Tried all methods possible, fbdev, vesa, radeon.
Its ovbiously something wrong with Xserver, would a suse 11.2 dvd help me fix it? As i cant install any packages through Yast
You could try a level 3 boot, login as user and become su -
mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak
Then
sax -r
This force a creation of a new xorg.conf (your existing one has been renamed)
or did you already try this?
I did Xorg -configure, and moved this new xorg.conf file to /etc/X11
Could i download simply those packages that i rolled back, put them on a pendrive and install them ?
Its just:
xorg-X11-server
So are you using 11.3 now or what?

It’s just we were working on 11.2 install and then you mentioned a command used in 11.3
Please tell me you are doing a fresh install (keeping /home is fine if you need to)
Yes, i mentioned “Xorg -configure”, because when using the Xorg repository, SaX2 tools arent there anymore, just as with 11.3.
And i did the update option from the 11.3 DVD, working as it should now

I really am pleased it worked out for you.
