| ===OpenSuSe 12.1 (Driver from AMD website) easy way...===
| |
| *Download The Latest AMD Driver from ATI/AMD
| |
| wget http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-12-10-x86.x86_64.zip
| |
|
| |
| unzip amd-driver-installer-12-10-x86.x86_64.zip

| | |
| *Open software manager in YAST and install 5 packages by hand:

| |
| *reboot
| |
| *'''If radeon driver is active''' you must blacklist it, add this to boot paramaters (during grub startup menu):
| |
| radeon.modeset=0 blacklist=radeon 3
| |
| *This will disable radeon driver and boot into runlevel 3. SU to get root, run mkinitrd to make sure radeon stays blacklisted.
| |
| *(Comment) in case the above method does not help, you may try add to /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf the following line
| |
| blacklist radeon
| |
| | |
| *(Comment) Either way, when your linux booted, you should check whether the radeon kernel module is not loaded, run
| |
| lsmod | grep radeon
| |
| if nothing comes up you are good to go

| |
| *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.
| |
| *in terminal type:

| ===OpenSuSE 11.0 & 11.1 The Easy Way===
| |
| *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.
| |
| | |
| EDIT: This is currently not working. ATi Repository is down for OpenSUSE.
| |
| | |
| ===OpenSuSE 11.0 & 11.1 With The Latest Driver===
| |
| | |
| You can easily install the latest versions of the ATi driver on OpenSuSE 11.0+.
| |
| | |
| *Download The Latest ATi Driver.
| |
| *Log in as Root using su
| |
| *Install some dependencies with: '''zypper in kernel-source gcc make patch''' ''(I think, this needs more documentation & explanation in and of itself)''
| |
| *Install the ATi Driver with: '''sh ./ati-driver-installer-VERSION.run'''
| |
| *Configure X to use the ATi Driver with: '''aticonfig --initial -f'''
| |
| *Configure sax2 to use the driver with sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx <b>Test May Crash the computer, Press Save</b>
| |
| *Exit the root account with exit
| |
| *Reboot the computer. <i>You can restart X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace twice however rebooting is more reliable</i>
| |
| | |
| Which came first, the problem or the sotluion? Luckily it doesn't matter.

| ===GUIDE: ATI Installer HOWTO for SUSE/Novell users===
| |
| http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===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.
