ATI driver on Suse 9.2 with 9800 Pro No 3D acceleration

[Kenny5445]

Hi all, I'm a bit stuck here

I've followed the install instructions on ATI's website for manual dirver installation (couldnt connect using YOU)

http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html

and then the install instrucions from the suse readme file in the fglrx (as shown below)

ATI fglrx driver configuration (including 3D support)
-----------------------------------------------------

Switch to runlevel 3 ("init 3") and use the following command as user
"root" to configure the ATI fglrx driver (including 3D support).

sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/sax2-profile

On (open)SUSE 10.1 (Alpha) or later it's no longer required to
specify the profile, so use "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx" instead.

There's no need to try to enable 3D support via SaX2. It's already
enabled automatically when SaX2 is starting.


The XF86Config file shows the driver has been configured.

Section "Device"
BoardName "R350 NH"
BusID "3:0:0"
Driver "fglrx"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"
Option "mtrr" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
VendorName "ATI"
EndSection

When I run a 3D app (i.e. tux racer) the game just splutters along as it does with the VESA driver.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong??


Thanks

Kenny
