The real future is already in place : it’s called radeon (or free-radeon), it’s fully integrated in kernel & xorg.

is in real progress even for the 6xxx series. KDE
Give it a try before using the proprietary software, report any bugs you find with it. Only your contributions can
help and will make a real differences. Thanks for doing that ! Kernel Kraft LiveUSB

I offer for those of you that for any reasons can’t use successfully the free-radeon drivers a repository where you open source
will find the latest fglrx/catalyst drivers following the packaging policy made avalaible by AMD.
Thanks to Sebastian Siebert ( check his blog ) to work in coordination with ati/amd and follow the catalyst openSUSE
packaging. His work allow us to have that driver available for openSUSE.

Alex Barrios (12)
Due to change in ati/amd way of life, it’s recommanded to completely remove any version of fglrx previously
installed with a zypper rm Alexander Naumov (9)

I can only recommand to also (as root) Alexander Orlovskyy (3)

# Remove old conf & stuff
rm - fr /etc/ati Alin M Elena (4)
# Remove any old fglrx inside kernel modules
find /lib/modules - type f - iname "flgrx.ko" - exec rm - fv {} \;

New installation Andrea Florio (24)

Once the repo has been added, you will certainly have to reboot to get ride off free radeon module. At boot on Andreas Jaeger (61)
the grub line add
nomodeset blacklist=radeon 3 Andreas Stieger (2)
Don’t panic you will be land to a console, open it with root account to install fglrx.

During the installation process, all the dependencies will be added, which mostly are needed to build the kernel Ciaran Farrell (2)
modules. Expect around 200MB to dowload.
Tom Schmidt (1)
Then the installer will build the module for your installed kernel.
And if there’s a kernel update, the script will automagically detect that, and will rebuild the module for the new
Dinar Valeev (1)
kernel installed. (So if you find that your workstation is slow on reboot just press the esc key to see the details …
)
Dirk Müller (1)
Preparing xorg to use fglrx
Dmitry Serpokryl (7)
Once the module is build and installed, you should have a file fglrx.conf or 50-fglrx.conf in /etc/modprobe.d

cat /etc/modprobe.d/50 - fglrx.conf Fabio Mucciante (2)

blacklist radeon

Next ati recommend to use ati –initial-config but that break the auto-detect stack of xorg. So I recommend Federico Lucifredi (6)
changing one line in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf
just change driver line to driver “fglrx” Hendrik Vogelsang (10)
All the rest of the setup (double screen etc) will be made lately with the ati catalyst control center (command is
amdcccle). Holger Sickenberg (2)
For those of you which want to have an xorg.conf file just have a look at aticonfig –help command.

If you are inside the console we start to use before just run “init 5″ to start xorg, and normally you will find your
normal xorg login screen (kdm, gdm, ldm, xdm). James Tremblay (7)
Hit ctrl+alt+f1 to return to the console and type exit or logout or ctrl+d to close it.
then ctrl+alt+f7 to return to the xorg session. Jan Blunck (4)

So I found that can be helpful, during the transition phase to have a package for openSUSE.

Here’s the recipe.

1: get the binary

wget http://dl.google.com/earth/client/current/GoogleEarthLinux.bin

2: extract it to a temp directory

sh GoogleEarthLinux.bin - - target GoogleEarthFixed

3: replace the defective gtk2 setup thing

mv ./GoogleEarthFixed/setup.data/bin/Linux/x86/setup.gtk
./GoogleEarthFixed/setup.data/bin/Linux/x86/setup.gtk2

4: Launch the installer

4a : as root for system wide install

su - l
./GoogleEarthFixed/setup.sh

4b : as normal user to have it installed inside your own home

./GoogleEarthFixed/setup.sh

5: Cleaning !
If you don’t need anymore.

rm - Rf ./GoogleEarthFixed
rm ./GoogleEarthLinux.bin

I would thanks people posting this comment

The method should also work for the older 5.2 version

There’s several version, as I would offer a way to use an older if new break everything

Launch the installation (always as root under a console, and better to be in init 3 mode)
For 11.3 64bits

zypper in fglrx64_7_5_0_SUSE113

For 11.3 32bits

zypper in fglrx7_5_0_SUSE113

etc .. I believe you pick the trick !

At the end of the installation, you can just reboot, or init 3 && init 5 .

Actual version Catalyst 11.1 / 8.812 Published January 26 by ATI/AMD

Previous version Catalyst 10.12 / 8.801 Published December 13 by ATI/AMD (Not available for factory/11.4)

If you already have a fglrx rpm installed, remove the previous version, otherwise catalyst center will give
you wrong version information in info panel.

for those who are tired of activating their desktop effects at each kde startup : (picked from the opensuse-kde)

Check out the kwin settings in: /home/user/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc

I have solved that problem changing the DisableChecks parameter from 'false' to 'true'. Although seems that
this would be a cover instead of a real solution.

How to build the 10.9 driver ? Patch needed

I’ve posted here a version how to patch the drivers to get fglrx.ko builded with latest kernel on openSUSE 11.3
http://www.susepaste.org/80021629

Don’t forget to have a look at Siebert blog his script work nicely well here

Non Official repo and build

For those of us who feel adventurous, and trust me you could install my package (no flgrx.ko inside)

Update news August 7

Seems there’s now an ati repo

you can grab it at http://www2.ati.com/suse/11.3

check the wiki page about that SDB:ATI

zypper ar - fc http://www2.ati.com/suse/11.3 ATI

Check and choose the appropriate package according to your kernel.

but you know what : they just segfault !. My rpm 10.7 (8.753) doesn’t.

Update news July 27

ATI/AMD just release their 10.7 version with native support for openSUSE 11.3

So I rewrite this article with the use of them, and remove any ref to the 10.6 version

Hardware & check

After installing my opensuse 11.3 on a computer with ATI radeon HD57xxx, there’s no desktop effects available,
no 3D, no acceleration that can be provided with the free opensource radeon. Too bad, but it’s only a question of
months to see support for this graphic card.
My advise would be if radeon works (even with some glitches in it) keep it. And help dev’s with bugs reporting.
To check if 3D is there (would return a YES)

glxinfo | grep - i render

Second point : ATI doesn’t provide anymore repository for their binary drivers, so we have to build them on each
needed system. When the 11.3 hits the street, the procedure was complex and not so easy, now with their 10.7 (
8.753 ) version, it’s doable.

Note All of those manipulation are done under console. So try to leave X, do a ctrl+alt+F1. Go to console, and as
root run and init 3 to stop running X

Get ready to build

Downloads

Download
ATI 10.7 installer
Download ATI 10.7 Readme (PDF version only)

Firstly : read the release note, check if your card is supported or not (HD 3870 X2 is not !)
Secondly : read the release note again, you missed something important before.

Building env

Prepare your openSUSE with a minimal building environment :

http://lizards.opensuse.org/tag/11-4/[2/27/2011 10:27:01 PM]

openSUSE Lizards

zypper in kernel - source kernel - syms module - init - tools make gcc libstdc++ libgcc glibc-32bit glibc-devel-
32bit fontconfig freetype zlib*

Now we have to add the correct headers (Thx to those who reveal that )
So most of you running the -desktop flavour

zypper in kernel - desktop - devel

or

zypper in kernel - default - devel

or on 32 bits

zypper in kernel - pae - devel

Install / Build rpm

Quick Install

sh ati - driver - installer - 10 - 7 - x86.x86_64.run

Or build your own package to manage them with YaST/zypper/rpm

For 32 bits (can also be build if you have a 64 bits install)

sh ati - driver - installer - 10 - 7 - x86.x86_64.run - - buildpkg SuSE/SUSE113-IA32

For 64 bits

sh ati - driver - installer - 10 - 7 - x86.x86_64.run - - buildpkg SuSE/SUSE113-AMD64
