OpenSUSE Install :: How To Get A Desktop After A Mistake With ATI Drivers

Dec 2, 2009

I am not certain of the cause (it may have been after I updated my ATI video drivers, or instructed my system to use a dual-head configuration, which in hindsight was perfectly dumb) but regardless of the reason--now when I "startx" my monitor freezes with a few stray motionless pixels. Nothing I've done helps: tried "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx"; tried "aticonfig --initial"; tried to revert to an earlier xorg.conf; but I don't really know what I'm doing, so I hope someone who far surpasses my knowledge of SuSE on the command line can help me out.

How do I get my desktop back?

OpenSUSE Install :: Partition Mistake On Installation?

Apr 11, 2011

When installing, I used a hard drive that had a windows installation on it. In an attempt to have it format the whole drive and allow use of all the space on the hard drive, I may have made a mistake. In the end, there was only one partition which was "create volume for ..... /home with ext4." There was no partion for swap volume or root volume. It prompted me if I was sure I wanted to do that... it said I can do it that way but.... and then gave me some info which has since slipped my mind. What effect if any can I expect from having done that? The install went through perfectly and everything seems to be running ok

3. Are there any How-To guides which can teach me, how I can improve my desktop? gadgets, 3D desktop ect...?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Radeon Drivers - Cannot Activate Desktop Effects

Aug 8, 2010

I'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.

Here's some of the result from my glxinfo (using auto-configured xorg, i.e., no xorg.conf):
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
client glx vendor string: Mesa Project and SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
OpenGL vendor string: Mesa Project
OpenGL renderer string: Software Rasterizer
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.8.2)

OpenSUSE Install :: Boot - After Installing New Graphics Drivers OpenSUSE 11.4

Jul 14, 2011

I have installed openSUSE 11.4, and I really like it compared to other linux versions I've tried, but I find it requires a bit more linux know-how.

Being fairly new to linux, it has been quite the effort to learn but I started getting the hang of things via online support and such. Lately I've been having some problems.

I need linux to run a TCAD program, and it requires some openGL functionality and was giving me errors when I tried entering the software related modeling GUI.

Anyhow, I thought it had to do with my graphics drivers, so I decided to update them via ATI proprietary driver. After doing this, the system booted me into the console rather than X.

I tried numerous online guides on how to fix the issues, by running all sorts of boot commands (nomodset), and I read the graphics driver theory, as well as trouble shooting ATI graphics.

In the process, I also installed a radeonhd-xorg11-something through YAST, and that caused a black screen altogether upon boot. I managed to boot into failsafe with x, and from there I removed it via YAST, however this did not resolve issues. I also deleted any xorg.cionf files in hopes that the system will default back to the radeon driver.

As it stands right now, I can only boot into my system via failsafe mode. I'm keeping the unit off for now as it's probably tired from all the hard reboots I had to do . If someone can help me resolve this issue, I can turn it on and enter any commands required, such as finding out the graphics card, the kernel, the driver currently running, etc and I can post it here.

OpenSUSE Install :: Almost 100% CPU Usage By NTFS Drivers?

Apr 30, 2010

I am have been noticing nearly 100% Usage by the NTFS driver. According to top the "mount.ntfs-3g" use up to 100% when I am accessing NTFS partitions (one 1 core I believe). My CPU is reasonably fast Intel E8400 3.0 ghz. I find it horrible that its stuck at nearly 100% just because I decide to heavy access the NTFS file systems.

I have been google online and have seen dozens of similar complaints. Most people haven't found a real solution. Is there really any good solution for this?

When I was running Windows XP, I never noticed anywhere near 100% usage when access the Hard drive heavily. Is the Linux NTFS drives just very bad in performance compared to the native Windows drives?

OpenSUSE :: Reinstall Gnome/ati Drivers From Install Dvd On An Installed 11.2 Sys?

May 19, 2010

Deleted my ati drivers accidently during a botched upgrade. Have been trying to fix the problem from things I read on here, made a thread but can't get online to execute it.Found my install dvd tried running repair and in the process deleted my windows partition(anyway to get that back?) and still no previous ati drivers or gnome installed.

When I boot up i see SUSE LINUX not opensuse... no grub So my question is how do I install ati drivers from the dvd and how do I install gnome or kde from install dvd? did i royally mess up and basically now just completely reinstall opensuse 11.2 completely? and if so can I recover files from my deleted windows partition and previous opensuse partition?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Epson 4490 Can't Install Drivers 11.3 X64

I have this device working in Ubuntu 10.04, two clicks reboot, working. But SuSE 11.3 will not install the RPM's without faulting out saying can't resolve dependancy's, then refusing to install again saying there is already some TMP directory. Tried installing from Yast, but it claims the driver is already installed. Sain say no scanner detected. But the 11.3 scanner configuaton icon reports the scanner is there, but refuses to configure. No neer, yet so frustratingly far proceedure wise. What are the steps, 1,2,3... needed to move past this road block?

OpenSUSE Install :: Restoring Default Graphics Drivers ?

Jan 18, 2010

I've lost my GUI while attempting to install the latest ATI proprietary driver. I followed their instructions on how to uninstall it but it didn't give me my GUI back. How do I get back to the default drivers that came with my installation? I have a Radeon 3850.

Booting into safe mode doesn't give me a GUI.

I want to try to reinstall the ATI proprietary drivers eventually. I have them on the hard drive, but I have had no luck installing them using the CLI so far.

OpenSUSE Install :: Suse Radeon HD 5850 Drivers?

Mar 7, 2010

I 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.)
