(^_^) (^_^)Yes, you must be doing something wrong, because I have installed (^_^)using that card. (^_^) (^_^)Carefully follow the directions in the ati package, (its not an rpm). (^_^) (^_^)Read averything on the suse site with due regard to the date it was written (^_^)and the version for which it was written. (^_^) (^_^)Also read all the way thru the ati directions because they have a habit of (^_^)leaving obsolete stuff in the docs and adding "Oh, by the way" paragraphs (^_^)later. (^_^) (^_^)The New feature list from ATI says: (^_^) (^_^)X.Org 7.2 Support (^_^) This release of the ATI Catalyst™ Linux software driver provides support for (^_^)the offical X.Org 7.2 release. The previous release (8.32.5) supported the X (^_^)Org 7.2 RC2 release only. (^_^) (^_^)I have been running that release for a while on an x1300 and an x1400 (^_^)card and it works pretty well. (^_^) (^_^)_____________________________________ (^_^)John Andersen I didn't want to say that maybe the instructions were wrong. ;-) This (ati-driver-installer-8.33.6-x86.x86_64.run) is the driver I downloaded from the ATI website. Last week I ran the installer and the cancel and (ok/next/continue) button was below the bottom of the screen so I had no way of moving and/or resizing the dialog box! :-( Couldn't (obviously) change resolution. Tabbing didn't seem to work either. Have to boot into Linux, hopefully I can find the link to the page I followed.
