Hello,
I recently installed openSUSE 12.2 (x86_64) on my machine and everything went fine, except for the GPU.
I had to install a driver, which is fine; I installed the
1-click fglrx 64 bit installer and it apparently installed fine. After two cold boots, I could see that things were not working correctly. I had weird errors such as
Code:
X Error: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation), ATIFGLEXTENSION
Which I figured was because of missing kernel headers. I went ahead and updated those and then ran
Code:
# fglrx-kernel-build.sh -a -f
. It recompiled everything properly. Rebooted again, and here I am. The performance is much better than it was, but I still get very weird behaviours, such as;
- When moving a window, the "interior" freezes completely until I stop moving it.
- I get weird artifacts when passing one window from one monitor to the next (using Xinerma)
- Moving one window around quickly displays sluggish, slow, screen updates which is an eye-sore
- Overall bad performance graphically...
Here is a very short video displaying the situation:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tsbaxfm8hc...2022.21.12.mp4 I have heard that this type of behavior is a known issue in the free version of the driver, but I don't think this is supposed to happen with proprietary drivers.
Here is some info on my system:
Code:
