Only for the brave, Proprietary AMD/ATI Catalyst fglrx 13.10 BETA2 (13.20.11-1) rpm released
Notice
This release concern only owners of radeon HD5xxx or above. And adventurous users who know how to deal with troubles.
The majority could easily wait the final release, expected somewhat later even if it take a long time 🙂
This is experimental & BETA software, it could fix issues you encountered, but also can eat your kittens. You’ve been warned !
flgrx build for 3.11 series kernel ( Tumbleweed & 13.1 ).
But this time I’ve to update the Sebastian script myself, so I consider also the package as beta stage.
Installing the new repository
Admitting you’ve the normal repository named FGLRX, (use zypper lr -d to find the number or name you give it). You have to start by disabling it
so you could fallback to it quickly. Open a root console or add sudo at your convenience and issue the following command:
zypper mr -dR FGLRX
The beta driver is available for 11.4 (evergreen kernel), 12.1, 12.2, 12.3, 13.1, Tumbleweed (12.3 based + kernel 3.11) at amd-fglrx-beta
To add another repository in the same console as root issue the following command which will install normally the right repository for your distribution
zypper ar -n FGLRX-BETA -cgf http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx-beta/openSUSE_`lsb-release -r | awk '{print $2}'` FGLRX-BETA
If you are using Tumbleweed use this one
zypper ar -n FGLRX-BETA -cgf http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx-beta/openSUSE_Tumbleweed FGLRX-BETA
Now the update/upgrade process
zypper dup -r FGLRX-BETA
Let the system upgrade the package, and try to enjoy the new beta
