AsphyxiA · 02-13-2006, 01:26 AM

i have inastalled linux suse and me and my friend are having a lot of trouble installing the ati drivers. Apparently the card itself is recognized but it dosent seem to recognize its use as a video accelerator, it only recognizes it as a standard VGA. HELP!

This works, despite alot of error messages during the process, but the desktop is now fixed at 1600x1200@60Hz.
