HOWTO
-----
1) Update XFree86 drivers
# rpm -Uhv fglrx.rpm
2) Update kernel module
* prepare kernel module build
- install 'kernel-source' package with YaST
- configure kernel sources; usually done with the following commands:
# cd /usr/src/linux
# make cloneconfig && make dep
* install kernel module source
# rpm -Uhv km_fglrx.rpm
* compile kernel module sources
# cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/xfiregl1
# make -f Makefile.module
# make -f Makefile.module install
3) Configure X11
# sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/firegl
4) Enable 3D support
* edit /etc/X11/XF86Config with your favorite editor
- add
Load "dri"
to Section "Module"
5) Known Issues
- driver only supports 24bit color depth
- enabling of 3D support through SaX2 does not work
