How to discover which video driver is in use

http://forums.opensuse.org – Hi -- video newbie here. I've got 64 bit openSUSE 11.2 KDE4 running. I have a Mobility Radeon HD 4300 video card. I've downloaded the catalyst 9.11 driver to try it out (if I can). But first I want to discover exactly what video driver I'm currently using in case I have to reverse things. I notice the installation program for openSUSE automatically installed this RPM: xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_20091026_8b89b9-1.1.1.x86_64 so I suspect that's the driver at the moment. How do I check which video driver is in use? Thanks swerdna (Distributions)

Unichrome and OpenSuse 11.2 3 years 24 weeks ago

Before OpenSuse 11.2 I used some Debian-based distros that used to have a good support for my integrated video card Via Unichrome P4M800 Pro / CN700. I had 3D running with direct rendering by Mesa. With OpenSuse I'm having problems to configure my graphics with a good configuration...

ATI Drivers - Some questions 3 years 23 weeks ago

I have a relatively new PC, AMD 785 North Bridge device. I have not seen specific references to this device, but have generally had luck with drivers aimed at the "AMD 7xx" family.

Under Suse 11.1, fglrx_02(from repository) and Catalyst 9.11 (from ATI) loaded and ran fine.

3D Support for Radeon 9600 3 years 22 weeks ago

Hi,

I have an ATI Radeon 9600 video card on openSUSE 11.2 and I wish to enable 3D acceleration to get all the eye-candy working.

As I understand it, fglrx will not work because ATI has relegated support of this video card to the legacy driver, which does not support the latest version of X.

Hi, I didn't found working driver for my card yet. Using OpenSUSE 11.2 KDE, Motherboard MSI 648F Neo, Pentium4 2.8GHz, 2 x 1GB DDR.

I've found, that my card should be supported according to HCL/ATI Video Cards - openSUSE
