AMD FGLRX – the 14.9 refurbished version for openSUSE 13.2 and Tumbleweed

November 13th, 2014 by

Hey good news, finally, Sebastian Siebert manage to create a compatible drivers for our last release.
Tumbleweed is supported too (perhaps only until it diverge consequently from 13.2).

Kernel 3.18 will be supported too.

For complete original story, refer to the original post.

The driver were published 8 days ago and some brave enough soul test them with success. Especially if you have a pure gpu comibnation.
It seems some people with intel cpu/gpu + amd gpu still have trouble, but that can be linked to the intel driver problems.

The new repository url are :

openSUSE_13.2

To upgrade any previous version : uninstall fglrx_xpicXXXX and install the whole new rpms
fglrx(64)_*

This special version has been published only for 13.2 and Tumbleweed. We will wait a real updated official drivers to update the others flavors of openSUSE.

Have fun
