I tried to provide that best I could in the guide, but maybe the way things are done in Linux are too different from what ever your computer background is wrt drivers ?? …
For ATI:
- xorg-x11-driver-video
rpm provides the fbdev, vesa, ati and radeon drivers. That rpm comes with openSUSE (dvd and liveCD) and is kept in the OSS repository - xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd
rpm provides the radeonhd driver. That rpm comes with openSUSE (dvd and liveCD) and is kept in the OSS repository. - the ATI repository (and also the ATI web site) provided the proprietary fglrx
graphic driver. that information is all in the guide, albeit the format in how I stated it is different. PLEASE, what in that do you not understand? How can I explain it better?
Reference your testing with liveCDs, did you try pressing F3 at the first green boot menu and select text mode, then boot to run level 3, login as user “linux”, use <enter> for password, then type “su” to get root permissions and press <enter> for password, and then try running sax2 per the guide, checking each of the various drivers? (ie fbdev, vesa, ati, radeon) ?? once a driver is configured with sax2, type “exit” to get rid of root permissions, and then type “startx” to start X windows.
I think most of that last part is also all explained in the theory guide? … What can I do to explain it better?
