Great tutorial. Unfortunately, there’s something that’s causing failures in compilation etc. on my system when I try to install the package.

CC [M] /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/kcl_ioctl.o
/usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/kcl_ioctl.c: In function ‘KCL_IOCTL_AllocUserSpace32’:
/usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/kcl_ioctl.c:196:5: error: implicit declaration of function ‘compat_alloc_user_space’

Build of kernel module failed!

I noticed that ‘zypper in libstdc++ libgcc’ produces the following.

‘libstdc++’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
‘libstdc++45’ providing ‘libstdc++’ is already installed.
‘libgcc’ not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
‘libgcc45’ providing ‘libgcc’ is already installed.

Could this be the problem? Is there a solution, do you know?

I had to do all the extra stuff as root, because the ati instal did not do everything thoroughly (and screw up my xconfig 2 times before…)

I dont know if it will work perfectly, but at least I have 3d drivers!

Anyone knows how to do this? Installing fglrx, xvba-video, libva1 and vaapi-tools and running “strace vainfo”, the program seems to be looking for 64-bit versions of libXvBAW.so.1 and others that do not get installed by the fglrx installer, even though they are present in the fglrx archive. Extracting those manually and symlinking appropriately I get encouraging output from vainfo. But that only led to vlc refusing to play back anything at all, so I rolled back the whole attempt. What is the proper procedure? And is it a bug in the fglrx script that those 64-bit libraries are not installed? Anyone working on packaging this whole thing for OpenSUSE?

This is a very good tutorial for ati hd×××× cards.
I have a ati hd5850 and it’s working very good on opensuse11.3.

‘Many users find annoying those black square during browsing firefox, and/or using other programs.
Good news (thanks to ced117) there’s a fix to that. A subtil modification how using Direct2D

aticonfig –set-pcs-str=DDX,ForceXAA,TRUE’ It was very useful.
THX

and yes, I have set NO_KMS_IN_INITRD=”yes” in /etc/sysconfig/kernel and followed the instructions
for installing ATI fglrx Proprietary Driver as given.

There is another issue with my system. Keybaord and mouse locks up after running X it will occur
after some time while the system keeps running e.g. while listening music which still plays etc.
log still grows. So the system must be running. Where can I find help for that. Tried vanilla kernel
too but this just messed up my system 🙁 Did a clean uninstall of vanilla kernel.
Problem still not solved…

See in your logs the flgrx segfault ?

Try to follow instructions first, and choose one of the two drivers.

Have a lot of fun! 😉
