There have been some problems getting the official fglrx drivers to work on OpenSUSE 11.1, I have made this (rather basic) walk through on how to get them to work correctly. This Works For 32 & 64-bit Releases
Code:
wget https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/64bit/ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run
- Download The Driver
Run these as Root:
Code:
zypper in kernel-source gcc make patch
- These are the dependencies of the driver, the packages are approximately 70-75MB overall.
Code:
sh ati-driver-installer-9-1-x86.x86_64.run
- Run through the installer choosing the automatic steps
Code:
aticonfig --initial -f
Configure Xorg.
Configure Sax2 with the fglrx driver.
Reboot your system and everything should work, you can verify this with (run as normal user):
Updated for 9.1, 64-bit users no longer have to link the 32-bit DRI either 64-bit now works and FPS in 32-bit applications should be working as expected.
