| | |
| == Installation ==
| |
| | |
| ===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>
| |
| | |
| ===Method 1 (Building RPM Files)===
| |
| * Install 'kernel-source' and C++ compiler ('gcc') and tools selection in yast.
| |
| * 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] [[This step needs revision. ATI site doesn't have rpms for latest driver.]]
| |
| * init 3
| |
| * install the driver package (e.g. rpm -Uvh fglrx64_6_8_0-8.24.8-1.x86_64.rpm)
| |
| * configure your X server using ati-xconfig
| |
| | |
| 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)
