Since ATI driver release 8.16.20 the ATI installer needs to be usedto create SUSE/Novell RPMs. Download the ATI installer from the ATI website. http://www.ati.com --> Drivers & Software --> LinuxIt is possible to create RPMs for the following SUSE/Novell distros.This information has been retrieved by using the installer itself: ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run --listpkg[...]SuSE Packages: SuSE/NLD9-IA32 NLD9 SuSE/SLES9-IA32 SLES9 SuSE/SUSE91-IA32 SUSE 9.1 SuSE/NLD9-AMD64 NLD9 (x86_64) SuSE/SLES9-AMD64 SLES9 (x86_64) SuSE/SUSE91-AMD64 SUSE 9.1 (x86_64) SuSE/SUSE100-IA32 SUSE 10.0 SuSE/SUSE92-IA32 SUSE 9.2 SuSE/SUSE93-IA32 SUSE 9.3 SuSE/SUSE100-AMD64 SUSE 10.0 (x86_64) SuSE/SUSE92-AMD64 SUSE 9.2 (x86_64) SuSE/SUSE93-AMD64 SUSE 9.3 (x86_64) SuSE/SLED10-IA32 SLED10 SuSE/SLES10-IA32 SLES10 SuSE/SUSE101-IA32 SUSE 10.1 SuSE/SLED10-AMD64 SLED10 (x86_64) SuSE/SLES10-AMD64 SLES10 (x86_64) SuSE/SUSE101-AMD64 SUSE 10.1 (x86_64) SuSE/SUSE102-IA32 openSUSE 10.2 SuSE/SUSE102-AMD64 openSUSE 10.2 (x86_64) Example:--------Create a RPM for SUSE 10.0 (i386) by using the installer. ./ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE100-IA32Afterwards install the created RPM by using the rpm command. In thementioned example above this would be: rpm -Uhv fglrx_6_8_0_SUSE100-8.35.5-1.i386.rpmThe postinstall script of this RPM will try to compile the requiredkernel module. If this fails, you'll get a message how to proceed.You still need to configure the driver with SaX2. Details can be foundin /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/README.SuSE.Unfortunately you need to recompile the "fglrx" kernel module rightafter any kernel (security) update. Use "fglrx-kernel-build.sh" for this.
