Double dash
in [Suse]

From: Blattus Slafaly on 8 Jul 2008 20:55 Every time somebody supplies commands with -- (double dashes) it never works. The command always fails. example: aticonfig --initial --input =/etc/X11/xorg.conf The command fails. Maybe I don't get it, is there substitution needed? -- Blattus Slafaly ? 3 :) 7/8

Does it say to have a space between the flag and it's value: --input /etc/X11/xorg.conf or to use an '=': --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf Regards, David Bolt -- www.davjam.org/lifetype/ www.distributed.net: OGR(a)100Mnodes, RC5-72(a)15Mkeys SUSE 10.1 32bit | openSUSE 10.2 32bit | openSUSE 10.3 32bit | openSUSE 11.0 SUSE 10.1 64bit | openSUSE 10.2 64bit | openSUSE 10.3 64bit RISC OS 3.6 | TOS 4.02 | openSUSE 10.3 PPC |RISC OS 3.11

It worked also on Dell Inspiron 1501 with the mentioned ATI Radeon Xpress200. [edit] Problem One click install mentioned on ATI page didn't work as described on ATI page. Typing glxinfo on the terminal found direct rendering: No OpenGL vendor string: Mesa [edit] Solution First, install using the 1 click installer mentioned at the top of ATI, package ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default and x11-video-fglrxG01 will be installed if you want ensure by yast installation software and restart X11 by typing ctrl+space+backspace. You will notice by typing glxinfo into a konsole will report that you are still not using direct acceleration or the fglrx driver. As root do init 3 After logging in as root do mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-001 sax2 -r -m 0=radeon aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx Adjust the screen settings as desired, and after you're finished type init 5 to start up X again. You may verify the configuration with glxinfo/glxgears to ensure that fglrx is working properly. It did not work. The aticonfig --initial..........did not work.
