Hi Zhao,
Here's what I had to do when I switched from my normal NVidia card to
this test ATI FirePro v8800 on my openSUSE 11.4 machine. First, I
uninstalled the nvidia-based kernel and installed the generic openSUSE
kernel. Then, I found and installed the fglrx drivers
(fglrx64_xpic_SUSE114-8.831.2-1.x86_64) for my 64-bit machine. After
that, when X didn't start, I had to hand-edit the xorg.conf. It was
really simple, actually, I just needed to change the BusID for the
card. I typed lspci and saw:
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Device 6888
I then updated the Device's BusID line from
BusID "PCI:4:0:0"
to
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Once I restarted X, everything was fine. 'glxinfo' returned all the
good information and extensions names. 'glxgears' works just as
expected.
For your laptop, you'll probably need the Radeon HD 6xxxM ATI drivers
(http://support.amd.com/us/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx) or if your linux
distro is up to date you can use their packages.
Good luck,
-- Jason
