== Installation ==<br />
<br />
===Method 1===<br />
* Install 'kernel-source' and C++ compiler ('gcc') and tools selection in yast.<br />
* Get the rpm that matches the SuSE X server on your system (XFree86 4.3 or X.Org 6.8) instead of the ATI driver installer from [http://www.ati.com]<br />
* init 3<br />
* install the driver package (e.g. rpm -Uvh fglrx64_6_8_0-8.24.8-1.x86_64.rpm)<br />
* configure your X server using fglrxconfig<br />
<br />
note: this is not the way described in the READMEs, but it's the way that worked best for me and others. Especially if sax and/or your X server crash when using the ATI driver installer's package (due to missing symbols in fglrx_drv.o)<br />

===YET ANOTHER Installation Guide:===<br />
<br />
Generally following this guide should help most of you:<br />
http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/05/12/suse-101-ati-drivers-installation/<br />
<br />
What follows is a slightly simplified version that I've used numerous times without fail.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. BACKUP your current <code>/etc/X11/xorg.conf</code> file, preferably to your home directory. Now change to a command shell by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F1.<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Remove any previous versions of the ATI driver by either<br />
<br />
If you have installed a previous ATI driver version without using RPM packages (or if you don't know if you have or not), type the following:<br />
<br />
cd /usr/share/ati <br />
sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh<br />
<br />
Otherwise, and even if you've done the above type the following,<br />
<br />
rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)<br />
<br />
<br />
3. Change the directory containing the downloaded ati-driver...run file.<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Change the permissions of the driver file to executable by typing the following:<br />
<br />
chmod +x ./ati-driver...<br />
<br />
Use the tab button to complete the rest of the ati-driver... file name.<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Create a SuSE RPM (info is for 32 bit version) from the file by typing<br />
<br />
./ati-driver.(fillintheblanks).run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE101-IA32<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Install the created fglrx... file by typing<br />
<br />
rpm -ivh fglrx_...(hit tab again to get full name)...<br />
<br />
<br />
7. The following command will update your library cache, you're recommended to run it:<br />
<br />
ldconfig<br />
<br />
<br />
8. Now run the ati config commands:<br />
<br />
aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Now run the Sax2 setup.<br />
<br />
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx<br />
<br />
You may wish to alter the refresh rates and DPI info with this, otherwise just hit save. DO NOT hit the test button, it regually crashes my machine when i do...<br />
<br />
<br />
10. Reboot you machine. Do not use the reboot command, again this messes my machine up on the next boot for whatever reason... try<br />
<br />
shutdown -h now<br />
<br />
<br />
11. Boot up again, and check the new /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, compare it to your old one, and make any changes if you know what you're doing.<br />
