Just a small note about a new build (-3) of the 13.251 fglrx version.
Changelog
AMD has changed /etc/ati/amdpcsdb.default database in its tarball
The packages have just been published on geeko.ioda.net, so next time you zypper up the new build should appear as a proposed update
Notice
This release concern only owners of radeon HD5xxx or above.
For older gpu, the fglrx-legacy is still 13.1, and thus didn’t work with openSUSE 12.3 or above.
SDB:AMD_fgrlx_legacy
Beware of that, and prefer the free open-source radeon driver which came out of the box from your openSUSE distribution.
For 12.3 and especially 13.1 the free radeon often offer a better experience than the old fglrx-legacy.
Have fun!

Hi 🙂

Hi.
Thank you for bringing an easy way to install fglrx drivers. Unfortunately recently i’ve been having a specific problem with the fglrx drivers and AMD GPU in general. My computer freezes as soon as it tries to load X server (black screen, monitor shuts down and computer reboots). This thing happens when i have installed 13.xx fglrx drivers or when using 3.13.x kernel with open source drivers .
At least when i’m using fglrx drivers this problem goes away when i add “nomodeset” to Grub. The stupid thing is that there are no errors in log files (upon request i would provide needed log files).
OpenSuse 13.1 with default kernel
AMD A8-5600K APU (Radeon HD 7560D)
There’s a new build available, -4 could you try it?
