--winglman--<br />
<br />
===OpenSuSe 12.1 (Driver from AMD website) easy way...===<br />
*Download The Latest AMD Driver from ATI/AMD<br />
wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-10-x86.x86_64.zip<br />
<br />
unzip amd-driver-installer-12-10-x86.x86_64.zip<br />
chmod +x amd-driver-installer-9.002-x86.x86_64.run<br />
<br />
*Open software manager in YAST and install 5 packages by hand:<br />
''kernel-devel kernel-desktop-devel gcc gcc-c++ make'' <br /><br />
OR use the terminal and run:<br />
sudo zypper in kernel-devel kernel-desktop-devel gcc gcc-c++ make kernel-syms<br />
*reboot<br />
*'''If radeon driver is active''' you must blacklist it, add this to boot paramaters (during grub startup menu):<br />
radeon.modeset=0 blacklist=radeon 3<br />
*This will disable radeon driver and boot into runlevel 3. SU to get root, run mkinitrd to make sure radeon stays blacklisted.<br />
*(Comment) in case the above method does not help, you may try add to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf the following line<br />
blacklist radeon<br />
<br />
*(Comment) Either way, when your linux booted, you should check whether the radeon kernel module is not loaded, run <br />
lsmod | grep radeon<br />
if nothing comes up you are good to go<br />
*cd to directory where proprietary "amd-driver-installer" is, <br />
type: <br />
sh amd-driver-installer-*.run <br />
*install default (do not generate distibution package)<br />
*verify /usr/share/ati fglrx-install.log, at the end of the file you should see "build succeeded with return value 0 duplicating results into driver repository...done.<br />
*in terminal type: <br />
aticonfig --initial -f<br />
*then run:<br />
/sbin/shutdown -r now<br />
<br />
===OpenSuSE 11.0 & 11.1 The Easy Way===<br />
*There is a one click installer available [http://en.opensuse.org/ATI_Driver_HOWTO#1-click_install_for_openSUSE_11.1.2C_11.0_and_10.3] for both of these OS's, this will give you access to a working ATi driver however it may not be the latest one available.<br />
<br />
EDIT: This is currently not working. ATi Repository is down for OpenSUSE.<br />
<br />
===OpenSuSE 11.0 & 11.1 With The Latest Driver===<br />
<br />
You can easily install the latest versions of the ATi driver on OpenSuSE 11.0+.<br />
<br />
*Download The Latest ATi Driver.<br />
*Log in as Root using su<br />
*Install some dependencies with: '''zypper in kernel-source gcc make patch''' ''(I think, this needs more documentation & explanation in and of itself)''<br />
*Install the ATi Driver with: '''sh ./ati-driver-installer-VERSION.run'''<br />
*Configure X to use the ATi Driver with: '''aticonfig --initial -f'''<br />
*Configure sax2 to use the driver with sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx <b>Test May Crash the computer, Press Save</b><br />
*Exit the root account with exit<br />
*Reboot the computer. <i>You can restart X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace twice however rebooting is more reliable</i><br />
<br />
Which came first, the problem or the sotluion? Luckily it doesn't matter.<br />

===GUIDE: ATI Installer HOWTO for SUSE/Novell users===<br />
http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html<br />
<br />
<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-installer-*.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 />
<br />
==Video Playback==<br />
Add Packman Repositories<br />
*Open YAST<br />
*Open Software Source, Click add, From URL<br />
*and add this url http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_13.1 (Change "openSUSE_XX.Y" to match your openSUSE version)<br />
*This will provide extra packages for video playback and other stuff.<br />
<br />
==To Uninstall==<br />
Open terminal, get root permissions with su command, and then type:<br />
sh /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh<br />
