Unfortunately I'm having trouble finding proper driver support for the ATI radeon x1200 as described by another poster:
You should still be able to get full 3D support for your hardware by downloading & installing the drivers manually.
This is where it gets complicated, unfortunately.
ATI dropped support for some "older" 3D devices some time back (actually not all that old in many cases - it made a lot of ATI card owners very upset). So I'm not sure which drivers you'd need to download & install to get your 3D hardware working.
The Radeon x1200 device in your notebook is, confusingly, not the same as a desktop Radeon x1200 card.
I am trying to install video drivers for the ATI radeon x1200 card on my laptop.
1. Download and install from AMD catalyst = fail. keep getting error 454 Bad Substitution.
2. Try "Additional Drivers" = nothing here.
3. Try "Synaptic Package Manager" search "fglrx" find one that looks right, let it install dependencies = fail. (maybe this is where I should be?)
4. Try this guide, however its a bit outdated. Get stuck on the repositories .deb files.

I want my computer to be used as a DVD/BD player, and as of recently it has rejected its windows install and refuses to reinstall. Ubuntu 9.10 installed without problem, but when I select the X1200 (hdmi) audio output via the top right icon no sound comes out. I've searched this topic and one theory was that if i ran ALSA mixer the x1200 audio might be muted by default; it was not muted. I've also been told to update my catalyst, but using synaptics packet manager to download the catalyst control center, when I run it I get the message no supported hardware found. Is there any way to get this to work, or am I stuck with my speakers/3.5mm jack?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been having lots of trouble getting my system up and running after I installed a Radeon HD 5850 on my suse machine. I did as they told by uninstalling the previous drivers and installing the new ones as stated in ATI Catalystâ„¢ 10.2 Linux Installer Note.
2)sh ./ati-driver-installer-10-2-x86.x86_64.run
7) /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial
This was all done from a terminal... And I did this for Suse distributions 11.1 and 11.2. Both times my mouse cursor disappeared, but this could easily be fixed by adding the option "SWCursor" "on" option under the Device section.
This was only part of the solution as I still have incredible lag on my windows e.g. when I scroll down a web page it takes incredibaly long to render and you can see it rendering the page in steps from the bottom up. As well as when I drag a window across my desktop it lags behind and you can se it reforming at the new position.
Finally I tried different releases of the proprietary driver. I tried 10.1 and this did not give me the mouse cursor issue, but the window lag still prevails. These are my xorg.conf and xorg.0.log files for my current setup. Opensuse 11.1 and proprietary driver version 10.1. I have an Radeon HD 5850 card.[URL]..
I should add that I am on a private network, and only have the oss, non-oss and packman repositories available. (Is it possible to add the AMD driver repository? Because I have trid and the firewall refuses connection.)
how to i get ubuntu to use my on board gfx card because it can't find it. games that run super fast in windows are bogged down(and proably rendering using the cpu) and it was enough for cube and cube 2.any command i can use to scan for the mobo card or is it called something totally different than a VGA

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to recognize my video card ATI Radeon X1200 and I have to boot in safe graphics mode. I can use my computer but the display is a bit off. I have tried to install the ATI driver but get the following:

I'm a bit of fedora/linux newbie, and I just installed 12. I'm wondering if I need to install drivers for my 925x/ICH6R chipset or ati 4350? I'm using the 4350 to stream video to the TV. I have the BIOS set to RAID on the ich6r, b/c I may add a storage array in the future, but the boot disk is on a singe hdd. I actually downloaded the ati drivers, but the instructions had so many dependencies I got a little overwhelmed
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just attemted the install for the Radeon unified drivers. Im running Ubuntu 10.04 with a X1200 series graphics card. 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] [1002:791f] The setup seemed to go fine and I restarted as it suggested. but now when I attempt to open the new catalist control center application it gives me a message about not detecting any Radeon components or I need to configure them. Sadly this message isnt copy/pasteable.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've recently managed to install 11.4 with both Gnome 2.32 and KDE 4.6, moving from 11.3. However, there seems to be a significant speed degradation in terms of opening applications, switching windows, clicking on links etc. I have installed the Radeon graphics drivers from YaST, without much success. IMHO, Gnome seems slightly faster than KDE; however, it's still not great.
My machine worked well with 11.3 and seemed to be going pretty well; however, I wanted new and shiny, so. The PC has an AMD dual-core chip (can't remember the exact spec). Alternatively, is there good benchmarking software I could try to see if I can get an idea of my real speed?
I'm still having problems with firefox 3.5 on Fedora 11. My computer freezes; and it takes a power-off reset to unlock it. Keyboard and display are unresponsive (x-server crash). It crashes even with Firefox 3.5 running in safe mode.
Configuration:
Hardware:ATI Radeon� XPRESS 200 Chipset
Kernel: 2.6.29.6-217.2.3.fc11.i586 #1 SMP i686 athlon i386
firefox.i586 3.5.1-3.fc11
flash-plugin.i386 10.0.32.18-release @adobe-linux-i386
Koji was used to update kernel and firefox. Thanks to wangmaster and other members, I was able to install Firefox 3.0.12, which is run using a different profile. Do I need a debug version of Firefox for a dump? Do I need to send this AMD machine to the landfill or North Carolina?
I installed fedora 13 yesterday in my PC and I cant install drivers for my ati radeon HD 4200, I downloaded the driver from the page of amd, I installed it but it doesn't work.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a computer with an integrated graphics card. It is ati radeon xpress 200 series. It have installed OpenSuse 11.1 on my computer with KDE 4.1. I have heard that we have to manually install ati and nvidia drivers. Or can the open source drivers run my card. has the drivers for my card already been installed. Or should i install it manually. I donot have an internet connection on my pc. but i can download the required files from another computer and bring them to my pc.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new to OpenSuse. Just installed it in my laptop.. Overall a great distro, I'm just getting trouble with some video aspects. I'm currently using the open-source radeon drivers. However, I can't activate desktop effects (ok..) and video playback looks choppy (sucks, I get like 3 fps). I've already tried some solutions, like installing fglrx driver (which makes my X system buggy) and trying to manually enabling DRI in xorg.conf (which didn't work).
My laptop GPU is an ATI Mobility HD5650.
Currently running OpenSuse 11.3 using KDE Desktop and radeon drivers.

Ive been a ubuntu user for about 3 years now, but lately I wanted to find something new. Ubuntu is beginning to feel less and less like "linux". So anyway I am having a bit of trouble getting my gfx card working in suse. I have a AMD Radeon HD 6850. In ubuntu I just get a popup says that restricted drives are available, and i click to install them. but In suse im not quite sure what to do. I believe I have the drives installed correctly, but I get a AMD watermark in the bottom right corner of my screen saying my hardware is unsupported.
What is the easiest way to get the latest working drivers for my video card? and keep them updated properly with each kernel update like in ubuntu? btw, im running openSUSE 11.4 64-bit.
I know this has been asked before, but im a complete noob to suse and I cant seem to find a answer that im able to understand.Other than this issue with my graphics driver I love everything else.
I'm having a few problems with XOrg freezing while playing World of Goo (not the worlds most intense game for graphics, but seemingly too much for my rig). I initially posted on the developer's forums, but they said a full X freeze wouldn't be the game. Testing with BZFlag got me a full Xorg freeze even quicker than with WoG. Later I even tried glxgears to see how well it ran and even that froze the system! My only way of recovering is SysReq-REISUB.
Specs/system details:
2.4GHz Core 2 Duo (E6600)
2GB RAM
Radeon X1950XTX using the open source drivers
openSUSE 11.2 (64-bit - patched up to date and without an xorg.conf)
[code].....
So, is there a fix for the huge instability with 3D graphics, or am I stuck between a rock and a hard place with the options of outdated official drivers that may not work with the latest kernels (and would need manually rebuilding even if they did) or flakey open drivers that are guaranteed to freeze at some point, it is just a matter of when?
I have got notebook HP 4710s and I can't get drivers for graphic card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330. ATI repository for openSUSE and SLED doesn't working. Do you know when Can I get it?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using openSUSE 11.4 on a HP Pavilion laptop, and it was working fine until last week or so. A zypper update seems to have upgraded to a package with a nasty bug though: it now boots into a black screen, instead of showing kdm.And the only option after that is to forcefully shut down the machine;ither Ctrl+Alt+F1 nor Ctrl+Backspace nor Ctrl+Alt+Del does anything. Not sure if this means the kernel hangs,or just that X blocks all keyboard input as well.The issue with powering off with the hardware button is that I don't get full log files (especially kdm.log) so it's a bit hard to investigate...I have tried many things, here are the results:
* Default radeon driver + kdm = black screen
* nomodeset + radeonhd driver + kdm = black screen [driver doesn't support HD4200 anyway]
* nomodeset + radeon driver explicitely requested + kdm = black screen

How can I install some open source drivers like radeon or radeonh, I just want make my desktop effects work, can't even watch a movie I have these installed:
Code:
#X -version
X.Org X Server 1.7.1
Code:
#rpm -qa | grep -i radeon
radeontool-1.5-6.fc12.i686

I just wanted to install openSUSE 11.3 64bit. Installation works fine until reboot request. It switches to console, saying that it tries to load without reboot, screen becomes black, i got a cursor with animated wait-symbol and then it freezes. Can't move the mouse, no reaction on keyboard inputs, HDD-led not blinking. If I reset my PC and boot the new installation, it says that an error occurred and asks me to complete the unfinished installation. It starts auto-configuration and freezes again at about 3%. I tried again and some time it did not start the graphical yast but in textmode. The freeze came at the same position, but it posted many lines on console with error messages. I could not scroll, so I saw only parts of it, saying kernel panic and many addresses.
I guessed that it has to do with my chipset and graphics card, it is a nVidia GeForce 9300 chipset (MCP7A) with onboard graphics. It works fine with openSUSE 11.2 64bit by the way, but it was not supported in earlier versions than 11.2. So I tried to install it with proprietary drivers. I started the installation again and added the nVidia repository and a Packman repo and selected the driver which works fine on 11.2. Error was same as above. Next I tried an openSUSE 11.3 32bit Live CD that came with some PC magazine and lay around and it is booting and works fine!
This was confusing to me, so I wanted to try the 64bit version of the live CD. Which was again not booting. It freezes at some part, maybe when it tries to start X. But it also freezes booting with 'nomodeset' (found it somewhere here), in VESA mode and even in textmode! So i guess it's not X what causes the freeze. But it is sometime at the end of booting up, as far as I can say. I would like to use the 64bit version but I don't know where to search for the problem. I checked every checksum before burning, so a broken media should not be the reason
I haven't any idea what drivers I should get from the repositories! I just want to play games. My chipset is NVidia GeoForse 6150SSE. I also don't know if the chipset handles sound and what I need for gaming.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have installed openSuse 11.3 KDE, Due to my laptop being a bit old I am having difficulty nailing down the best graphics driver to work with. My Graphics card is an ATI Radon X1200. By default openSuse uses the Radeon driver for 2D, which is sadly not working quite as well as it should with my old graphics card. My basic problem is not that I can't get 3D (It uses swrast (No 3D Acceleration (7.8.2)), although that would be nice, it is that when I scroll on any page there is lag, and it looks jerky. I have therefore tested with fbdev, vesa, mach64, ati and radeonhd drivers respectively, and right out the gate the fbdev driver gave the best performance with no lag or jerking - surprising for the weakest driver. That said, I was unable to test with radeonhd or vesa due to them having errors. The radeonhd one gave the following:
(EE) FATAL: RadeonHD presently does not work with kernel modesetting (KMS). disable KMS in your kernel. what are the side-affects of disabling KMS, and is it something that I should consider doing, or should I just be happy with using the fbdev driver. As for the vesa driver, I can't remember the error that it gave, so I will have to check and post it up in a bit.
ATI has a driver listed for Linux x64 for the Radeon x1250 and this is what happens when you run it, I got the same results with Fedora 12 also. Ubuntu runs GREAT on my laptop, but 3D acceleration would be nice, if I can get this driver, I will be set free of Microsoft almost completely. Any ideas? Please do not suggest I buy a new laptop, its a Turon X2 and its powerful enough for me.

SO, its clear that I have no 3d acceleration, my second display is all garbled like the refresh rates isnt being applied properly, and It would seem some lame generic driver is loaded for my GPU, does anyone have any idea if and when or where a proper Hardware driver for the x1250 series will be released?
The graphics card on a openSUSE11.4-32-bit system is a ATI RV530LE [Radeon X1650 PRO] It looks as though xorg sets it up with the RV535 or RV560 chipset if the radeonhd driver is selected Is there a way to ensure the RV530 chipset version is loaded when booting.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI recently installed ubuntu 9.10 dual boot. All went well until I upgraded the video drivers for the nvidia chipset on my motherboard. If I leave Gnome to start with the single user i created i get a black screen and 'mode not supported ' message on the monitor. BUT if i drop to root and 'startx' all is well and i can adjust the various screen resolutions and they all work well.
At this point i created another user name to check, and that works fine also, but if i drop back to the original user i get no screen unless i select 800x600, although all the other resolutions work fine with root and the other user name. Im stumped as I presume there's only one xorg.conf file for all users.
after few years being limited with my pc configuration (windows OS) I realized that linux or it's distributions is the best invention in 21 century. And finally I am starting use it. openSUSE 11.4 installaition succesful, I updated it and it looks I don;t have any problems, but I got few questions.
1. How install older version of mozilla firefox internet browser here? I can't install some plugins because it's a firefox beta 12 version, for example. I am quake fan, o I like play quake live, but i can't install quake plugin, because my firefox is beta version.
2. Does I got all drivers instantly installed to my mashine? ATI video drivers, sound drivers ect??
3. Are there any How-To guides which can teach me, how I can improve my desktop? gadgets, 3D desktop ect...?
I verify in Intel site that my Intel'drivers are outdated, because Dell Suport is slow, so how do I update them in Opensuse?
Do I use Virtual Machine or try through Wine?
I just got nexuiz and i have had this problem,
Quote: Using Linux I only see the map but no players and items.
I need to update drivers for my Mobile intel 4 series express chipset family. I've also had 3d issues with Guild wars on Wine.
I've just performed a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.3. System specs include GA-MA790X-DS4, PhenomII X4 940 AM2+, Sapphire RadeonHD 3670, two monitors. What I'm trying to accomplish is to set up my KDE desktop to (as it did under 11.2) use a multi-desktop multi-output non-cloned setup, so that I can use my two monitors side by side and maximize windows in either one respectively, etc.
So here I am with my newly installed system. Obviously I can't use fglrx, as it doesn't yet support the 2.6.34 kernel, so amdcccle is right out. SaX2, I notice, is gone. I have tried using KDE's built-in configuration tools, but the dual-head setup doesn't persist between logins. Strangely, windows that were open on the second monitor do vanish off-screen, but the monitors return to their overlapped positions so it's useless. Monitor 2 doesn't even retain its resolution setting. As one does, I decided I'd manually edit the X configuration file. SHOCK HORROR! No xorg.conf So what I'm driving at is this: How oh how do I configure my X.org to remember that it has two, quite different, monitors under openSUSE 11.3 ? Sorry if this post is hard to follow, I got very little sleep while trying to sort out the myriad problems I caused myself in upgrading.
I have installed OpenSuse 11.3 . System doesn't boot in NORMAL mode, system boots only in Fail-safe mode. In NORMAL mode i have kernel panic (may be i am wrong, but Caps Lock + Scroll Lock are blinking synchronously during NORMAL boot). ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP figured on thread Subject because i am sure that the problem is in this video card. 2 weeks ago i have installed ATI Proprietary driver for this card and system successfully boot in NORMAL mode without any kernel panic. You may ask me, "What the problem, install this driver again and have fun!". The problem is that when I install this driver and boot in NORMAL mode video sub system works very slowly. For example one mouse scroll in Internet browser takes 2 seconds to redraw the window. It is not only browser window problem. It refers to all windows. I even can see the wave from up to down on the screen when any window redraws. Very poor performance of 2D video. So , installation of this driver is not the solution.
In the Fail-safe mode 2D video performance is not so cool as at Windows XP but is much more better than in NORMAL boot with proprietary driver installed. Now I have clean installation of system without any drivers installed over distributive. now system configuration:
1. Motherboard: Intel 845D(has on board AC'97 sound, but this sound is disabled in BIOS currently)
2. CPU:Intel Celeron 1.7 GHz.
3. Main memory: 1,5 GB DDR 266MHz.
4. Video card: PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP (512 MB, 64 bit).
5. Sound card: CMI8738.
