Description Hans Meier 2006-02-05 06:25:47 UTC

Although the latest release notes state that there is a patch available in YOU that can be selected for installing the proprietary ATI graphics driver fglrx, I cannot find it. It's not in the list of all available packages, I can only see the patch for installing Nvidia's driver.

Comment 1 Thomas Fehr 2006-02-06 10:32:15 UTC

Stefan, I hope you are the right person for the propietry graphics drivers
packages.

Comment 2 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-06 10:37:12 UTC

I'm afraid this won't still happen for 10.0 (hopefully it will for 10.1). Better use the manual installtion instructions for now.

Comment 3 Hans Meier 2006-02-06 12:52:12 UTC

Then the release notes should be changed, i.e., the statement that the proprietary ATI drivers are available via YOU should be removed.

Comment 4 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-06 13:51:17 UTC

Ok. Reopen.

Comment 5 Stefan Dirsch 2006-02-06 13:53:13 UTC

Karl, could you remove this section from 10.0 release notes? Thanks.

   <title>ATI Graphics Cards and the "fglrx" Graphics Driver</title>

   <para>
For ATI graphics cards that are not supported by the open source DRI
driver, we have a download solution to enable 3D suppport using a
proprietary driver. The proprietary driver currently does not
support "suspend to disk" or "suspend to RAM."
</para>

   <para>
You can download the ATI "fglrx" graphics driver with YaST Online Update
(YOU) similarly to how the NVIDIA is handled. To install the driver,
select the patch in YOU and install the driver.  Then
configure the driver manually with SaX2. For more information, see
<filename>/usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/README.SuSE</filename>.
