I just found a posting in alt.os.linux.suse from somebody with the same
problem but a Radeon 9700Pro. He wrote that he is using the DRI package from
sourceforge. I downloaded and installed it, but I got the below errormessage.
I also wondered about this posting. I thought to enable 3D acceleration I have
to use the ATI binary drivers instead of open sourced ones. I know that this
is the case for nVidia so I thought it is the same for ATI here. Of course ATI
has this less restrictive NDA policy under which it is possible to still
release OS drivers. So is it worth the effort to use the sourceforge package
and will I have full 3D acceleration?
If so, how can I fix the below error? What is this ABI that the error message
is talking about?
