This should be set to whatever the bus type of your card is. By default, the driver attempts to auto-dectect your bus, but sometimes it makes mistakes. In my own experience, explicitly setting my bus type improved performance dramatically.
Acceptable values are 1 ", " 2 ", " 4 " and 8. If you have an AGP card, this should be set to the highest value your card supports unless doing so causes instability. This release concern only owners of radeon HD5xxx or above.
For older gpu, the fglrx-legacy is still For Once both of them will be fixed Sebastian will produce a newer script. If those appear soon we perhaps will see rpm fglrx for AMD Full release note.
New Features: The following section provides a summary of new features in this driver version. On my side I prefer to see more efforts made on the free radeon driver. All owner of HD2xx and HD4xx are really encouraged to use the free radeon driver which received a lot of improvement in 3. But one day something will broke in kernel or somewhere else, and we all need to find a way to fix it.
I would like to continue the good support we created 3. You have to start by disabling it so you could fallback to it quickly when new stable version will be published.

I will rebuild the driver once Leap Cleanup I removed all the obsoletes packages letting only the last one for each openSUSE version still available. Have fun. AMD Catalyst I spent some time fixing all of this stuff. And start the build on real hardware. Hey afterward kvm was really in infancy stage. When beginning of Sebastian Siebert, who got some direct contacts with AMD, release his own script, we collaborate to have the possibility to build on virtual machines, which allow me to simplify the build process, as having on kvm for each openSUSE release supported.
So 2 drivers to maintain, but as always with proprietary software, the legacy version became rapidly obsolete, and non usable. Not that bad, in the meantime the AMD effort on the free and open source radeon driver, quickly overcome the performance of legacy. I think the repository serve quite well end users, and I never got big flames. Now that fglrx is becoming obsolete, I think seriously about why the repository online should stay online.
At openSUSE project level, we still have The second and certainly the most important, those drivers are only available for Ubuntu or at least in. So you want to loose your time?

Results 1 to 9 of 9. Thread: [ Since the update from I upgraded and downgraded the X-Server and radeon-driver and nothing could fix the problem.
I then, following the advice from the thread, choose the AMD-driver fglrx. This actually helps with the problems above but causes new issues: - multi-monitor support is appaling.
I can only change the resolution by using the Catalyst-Center that demands a restart of the X-Server - the lock-screen after suspend often doesn't provide the usual password-box and I have to force a x-server restart - I don't have a boot-screen Both solutions derrange me from my daily work. Sad enough, that I hadn't had any problem with
