Note: You need to install Kernel development (Kernel Source code) and C/C++ Compiler 
before installing the Video driver.
 1. Start SUSE Linux.
 2. In a terminal window, use the su - (switch user) command to obtain root privileges. 
 3. Copy the RPM file to the hard drive, for example, /home/drivers directory.
 4. Change directory to the location where you saved the file. 
 5. Type rpm -ihv [Package name] to install the video driver.
        ex. rpm -ihv l79v16us.rpm
 6. Type aticonfig --initial
 7. Go to K Menu > Logout, and select Restart Computer.


UNINSTALL:
---------- 
 1. Start SUSE Linux
 2. In a terminal window, use the su (switch user) command to obtain 
    root privileges. 
 3. Type rpm -qa fglrx*  to display the current version of fglrx 
    installed in the system
 4. Type rpm -e [version of fglrx installed]
        ex. rpm -e fglrx_6_9_0_SUSE101-8.26.1-1
 5. Type sax2 -r

Determining which version is installed:
---------------------------------------
In a terminal window, type rpm -qa fglrx* to display the current version 
of fglrx installed in the system

Determining if 3D is enabled:

In a terminal window, type fglrxinfo and confirm OpenGL vendor string 
indicates ATI Technologies Inc.
	
 Example:
    OpenGL vendor string: ATI Technologies Inc.
    OpenGL renderer string: FireGL X3-256 Pentium 4 (SSE2) (FireGL) (GNU_ICD)
    OpenGL version string: 2.0.5642 (8.22.1)

 Failure example:
    OpenGL vendor string: Mesa GLX indirect

--------------------------------
In a terminal window, type cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep Chipset | grep found 
and confirm the Marketing Name of the asic used and in brackets the internal 
family name and chip ID.

  Example:
    (--) Chipset MOBILITY FireGL V5200 (M56 71C4) found

  Failure example:
  <empty line>

In the case of failure, confirm Kernel Source code and C/C++ Compiler 
are installed and reinstall the Video driver.
 

Determining if Kernel Module is loaded:
---------------------------------------
In a terminal window, type lsmod | grep fglrx and confirm that the 
kernel module compiled and loaded successfully.
 
  Example:
     fglrx                 391116	8
