Nothing else 🙂

zypper ref -f && zypper lu should show a bump version update.
From version 8.97.100.3-2 to 8.97.100.7

The legacy script will be shared soon. The current script works with not legacy GPU.

atiupgrade works, detects a new version, but could download it as it couldn’t find it.

Have an HD4xxx, don’t remember the exact model, available in my laptop.
Had no success installing the legacy driver since I installed openSuSE 12.2.
Hope I get some luck now.
Will the drivers be available through the repositories or are they available through the popular update scripts?

Thanks for the help.
