ATI的驱动怎么这么难装？

考拉

先后试了两种驱动，一个是SuSE的FTP里的；另外一个是从ATI官方网站上下的。都是RPM包，用YAST安装后，好像根本没有效果，虽然有了ATI的控制面板，可是驱动没起任何效果？在SuSE Hardware Tool里的显示选项里有两个：Giga-byte RV350 AS和Giga-byte RV350 ??[Radeon 9550] (Secondary)。分别选中后，再选择细节，第一个驱动能看到。第二个驱动是灰色的，无法选择。我已经添加了load "dri"，可是没有起作用？

请问：究竟应该 如何安装ATI的驱动啊？烦请提供一下详细的步骤，多谢！（SuSE已经更新过了）

HOWTO
-----

1) Update XFree86 drivers

# rpm -Uhv fglrx*.rpm


2) Update kernel module

* prepare kernel module build

  - install the following packages with YaST:
    + kernel-source
    + make
    + gcc  
  - use YaST Online Update (YOU) and - if available - select the
    kernel patch to make sure that the kernel sources match the
    current running kernel
  - configure the kernel sources
    # cd /usr/src/linux
    # rm -f .config
    # make cloneconfig
    # make prepare-all
  - remove kernel module sources
    # rm -rf /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx

* install kernel module source

  # rpm -Uhv km_fglrx*.rpm

* compile kernel module sources

  # cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx
  # KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux make modules
  # KERNEL_SOURCE=/usr/src/linux make install
  # depmod -a


3) Configure X11

# sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/firegl -i


4) Enable 3D support

* edit /etc/X11/XF86Config with your favorite editor

  - verify, that

      Load "dri"

    is in Section "Module"


5) Enable TV-out support

* edit /etc/X11/XF86Config with your favorite editor

  - add

      Option "NoTV" "no"
      Option "TVStandard" "AL-D"

    to Section "Device"

  NOTE: PAL-D is only one example of several TV Standards. The
  following are available for configuration:

   NTSC-M
   NTSC-N
   NTSC-JPN
   PAL-B
   PAL-D
   PAL-G
   PAL-H
   PAL-I
   PAL-K
   PAL-L
   PAL-N
   PAL-M
   PAL-SCART
