I have SuSE 10.0, and have some problems playing 3D games due to the error “No 3D card is availabe or 3D graphics aren’t configured yet”
I know that a possible sollution is ot install the correct ATI drivers for my card, and have tried to do so. but every time i run fglrxinfo it tells me the mesa drivers are there.
How can i get rid of mesa from my system for once and for all, and install the radeon drivers.
go to www.ati.com from the “Drivers & Software” menu choose Linux, then
click on the “Linux Display Drivers and Software” link, and then “RADEON 8500 Series and higher” -
that should take you to the driver download page.
find the driver for your version of XFree or xorg and install it.
I did what you said above, and when i try installing the drivers, they said that it’s conflicting with the Mesa libGL package…
so, is it safe to just uninstall the Mesa libGL package and install the ATI ones?
I had lotsa trouble installing the ATI drivers under Suse 9.3, but I eventually got them installed. They are hard to install due to misleading documentation ATI has a really stupid attitude about helping their users - the main reason I’m up for an Nvidia product as my next graphics card…
