I'm assuming you mean the 3.14.06 drivers? or does SuSe do some weird
renumbering?

Try running fglxgears (it may just be called glxgears) and see if it
works. if it doesn't, then it's not plib at all (which is what a lot of us
seem to expect).

* the ati drivers are built for specific versions of X, however they don't
have separate numbers -- this can be really confusing... my advice would
be to try installing the drivers by hand:

1) run X --config  to see your version
2) go to http://www.ati.com/support/driver.html and download the correct
linux driver.
3) install the driver as per the instructions on the site. this doesn't
look too easy, and i've never tried it, so good luck...

If you're using xorg instead of xfree, i believe the version for XFree86
4.3.0 will work with xorg 6.7.0 (but not 6.8.0).


good luck,
ben

p.s. thanks for helping me make up my mind between nvidia and ati ;)
