Hardware Acceleration on SUSE 10.0 w/ ATI Linux driver v8.23.7
I have an ATI 9800 Pro. It seems i am having problems getting Hardware Acceleration.

SUSE 10.0
Xorg 6.8.2

I Installed ati-driver-installer-8.23.7-i386.run and tried to play Wolfenstein Enemy Territory. I get similar results in Doom 3.

Here is the Output

Code:

What do I have to do to get my precious WOLFET running on SUSE. If I cant is there a better distro for gaming/getting my ati card working properly? Thanks in advance for any help.

I got it to work on my laptop (Mobility 9600/SUSE 10.0) Getting ATI flgrx to work in SUSE is fairly trivial thing, you just need a proper guide
I suggest this one: http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html

Try installing the rpm with --force. I think that thing did the trick for me. That is:
Code:
rpm -e fglrx_6_8_0_SUSE100
rpm -Uhv --force fglrx_6_8_0_SUSE100-8.23.7-1.i386.rpm
And then configure things with SaX2 as said in the readme.

This is rather strange... Let's check some stuff then:
1) Do you have GCC *and* kernel sources installed?
2) Did the kernel module get compiled cleanly?
3) Is there "fglrx" as driver in xorg.conf?

First I would like to thank you for your help so far.

I also found another guide. I have been checking that one and the one you posted for ideas.

Yes GCC and Kernel Sources were installed.

Im not completely sure if the module was compiled cleanly. There were no errors preventing it from happening. Are there any logs i should look for?

Yes fglrx is as driver in xorg.conf

Code:

Your xorg conf is using "radeon" which is the open source driver. You should be using "fglrx" instead. Above you have an fglrx section, but what you removed all radeon references from your config?
