Gul Dukat Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I think I know what module you mean from Yast2. I don't know of my translation is any good from Dutch into English, but I think it says something like Graphics and monitor. After clicking this icon Sax2 starts. And the funny thing is, that it says that should activate 3D-acceleration. But it doesn't. :mellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet.doe Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Well, didn't notice that there was a new post from you... It happened to me too, couldn't not get 3D working from Yast/sax2... I edited my last post, but I'll copy it here: Just for sure: did you make right rpm from the installer SuSE/SUSE101-IA32 or SuSE/SUSE101-AMD64 ??? And I think I did that fglrx-kernel-build.sh - thing too... And I started to think that if there is something wrong with the 32 bit installer (assuming you use that one. I'm using 64 bit one...)... I think I had to install GCC too at some point during the ati installation, but I'm not sure... I'm not using english version suse too, I'm trying to translate from finnish to english... Hopely you'll understand... -j.d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I've made this rpm from the ATi-driver: fglrx_6_9_0_SUSE101-8.24.8-1.i386.rpm. I didn't have to install gcc, so I'm assuming it was already installed. And by the way. I'm not using the English version of SUSE too. I;'m using the Dutch version. Any help is appreciated. According to Yast "gcc" isn't installed. Could that be the problem? And I can see a few different "gcc"-versions. Which one should I use? These are the versions that are available to me: - gcc - gcc-c++ - gcc-info - gcc-java Only libgcc is installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet.doe Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 You could try to install gcc, I'm not sure if it was libgcc that I had to install... Might have been... Have to check when I get home... And try if it helps to command as root this fglrx-kernel-build.sh if you haven't done that yet. -j.d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gul Dukat Posted May 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I installed gcc now and reinstalled the ATi-driver. And in init 3, I ran the sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx command. But still no 3D-rendering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janet.doe Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi! Home at last... I went trough my notes about installing ati driver and here is what I've done: 1. Made a RPM of the ati-installer 2. Installed that RPM just made (at this point I had to install gcc) 3. Gave this command as root in runlevel 3 sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx 4. Gave this command as root in runlevel 3 fglrx-kernel-build.sh 5. Rebooted After these five steps the 3D acceleration started to work. About those gcc - packages I have gcc and libgcc installed. Hopely this helps even a little... -j.d.
