Hello all,
I’m having problems running games on my system. I think the problems are connected to the ATI drivers I’ve installed. I used the ones I got off of the ATI graphics driver repository specifically for OpenSuse. I would like to try the latest drivers off ATI’s website again. I understand they are much more recent than the ones in the repository. The first time I tried them they didn’t work, though they have worked in the past for me on a previous incarnation of this system.
Do I have to uninstall the current drivers first? If so, how do I be certain I have uninstalled all that is necessary since I didn’t keep track of the details in the first place? I can find some of them using the search function but perhaps not all. I would imagine there is a way to do that using YaST since I got everything off that one repository.
Lastly, which option in the ATI graphics driver installer (ati-driver-installer-10-4-x86.x86_6.run) should I use? I’m using 11.2-64 on an Intel based system. Will the 32 bit drivers work on a 64 system? As I noted, the automatic option doesn’t work for me. From reading some of the other posts here it seems perhaps I should start in level 3 and use the cli from there. That’s not what I did before. Or should I try the latest 11.3 milestone since that seems to have better graphics card support? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
