| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | EDIT: This is currently not working. ATi Repository is down for OpenSUSE.

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ===YET ANOTHER Installation Guide:===
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Generally following this guide should help most of you:
| + | |
| − | http://linux.wordpress.com/2006/05/12/suse-101-ati-drivers-installation/
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | What follows is a slightly simplified version that I've used numerous times without fail.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 2. Remove any previous versions of the ATI driver by either
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | cd /usr/share/ati
| + | |
| − | sh ./fglrx-uninstall.sh
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Otherwise, and even if you've done the above type the following,
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 3. Change the directory containing the downloaded ati-driver...run file.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 4. Change the permissions of the driver file to executable by typing the following:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | chmod +x ./ati-driver...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Use the tab button to complete the rest of the ati-driver... file name.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 5. Create a SUSE RPM (info is for 32 bit version) from the file by typing
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ./ati-driver-installer-*.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE101-IA32
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 6. Install the created fglrx... file by typing
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | rpm -ivh fglrx_...(hit tab again to get full name)...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 7. The following command will update your library cache, you're recommended to run it:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ldconfig
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 8. Now run the ati config commands:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 9. Now run the Sax2 setup.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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...
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 10. Reboot you machine. Do not use the reboot command, again this messes my machine up on the next boot for whatever reason... try
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | shutdown -h now
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 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. | + | |
