ATI Working With OpenSUSE!

Yup, I’m in OpenSUSE. So, why am I so happy?

I was able to get my ATI Radeon Xpress (fgrlx) driver working!

It provides accelerated graphics on my laptop, which makes using KDE a lot easier.

Up next will be my attempt to get my wireless driver, a Broadcom 4318 54g Air Force One card, working. So far, only Ubuntu and PCLinuxOS have been able to work, bringing full compatibility to my laptop.

While I’m on the topic of OpenSUSE… a nice feature is the Amarok music player, which works under the preselected gstreamer (or at your option, xine) backengine, which gives me mp3 support. Very cool!

=== UPDATE ===

If you want to use the how-to that I followed, see this page.
