HCL/ATI Video Cards

From openSUSE

ATI

At this time, there is no XvMC support for any ATI cards, making them poor choices for HDTV.

Radeon HD 2400 Pro

Autodetected - 3D Support
OpenSuSE 11RC2 Kernel source and driver available in ATI Repository 14/06/2008 ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default & x11-video-fglrxG01
Normal installation procedure and all tickerty boo! ( Holywood Got Nothing )

Radeon HD 2400 XT (RV610)

Autodetected - 3D Support
OpenSuSE 11.1: no luck with drivers radeonhd (auto configured after installation), radeon or fglrx, compiz won't start, not even support for transparency, fglrx will give garbled desktop, no dri support. radeon and radeonhd drivers will give you a working desktop but no fancy features at all.

Radeon HD 2600

Autodetected - 3D Support - Need proprietary drivers
10.3 : Not detected by xorg radeon driver
Current fglrx driver - Impossible to switch multiple users CTRL+ALT+F7/F8 crash video with black screen
11.1 : Cannot get 3D Support working using the ATI linux driver and instructions

Radeon HD 3200

Autodetected - 3D Support 11.1

Radeon HD 3450

Autodetected - 3D Support - Functions with radeonhd opengl driver (and ati proprietary graphic driver) under openSUSE-11.1 32-bit and 64-bit on a Dell Studio 15 laptop at 1440x900 resolution in both KDE-3.5.10 and KDE-4.3.1. (3D support with proprietary driver).

Autodetected - 3D Support - Just installed openSUSE-11.1 on my pc with this graphic card. I followed the instruction on this site and used the latest driver from ati. It worked flawlessly in KDE, but keep freezing in gnome.

Autodetected - 3D Support - Installed the proprietary driver from ATI's website in terminal. Works very good on my openSUSE 11.1 with Gnome. The freezing can be repaired 3D desktop freezes

Radeon HD 3470

TBD placeholder

Radeon HD 3650

The HD 3650 is a R600 style hardware: R6xx, RV6xx, RS780, M64 and up as it features the RV635 core. As such, it has no 3d support with the xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd driver that comes with OpenSuSE 11.1.

11.0

64 Bit

• Straight installation: Autodetected - 3D Support The card is mis-identified as a HD 3670, but all non-3D functionality seems to work very well. 3D acceleration is not available. I can even switch between users.
• The Easy Way: Autodetected - 3D Support 3D graphics are great. Have lost the ability to switch between users.

11.1

64 Bit

• Straight installation: Autodetected - 3D Support The card is mis-identified as a HD 3670, but all non-3D functionality seems to work very well. 3D acceleration is not available with my 64-bit system. I can switch between users.
• The Easy Way: Autodetected - 3D Support Following the current instructions (2008/01/31) with my 64-bit system did not get 3D working (chromium still fails). Did not try to switch between users.
• The Repository Way: Autodetected - 3D Support Following the current instructions (2008/02/03) with my 64-bit system did not get 3D working (chromium still fails). In addition, my cheap mouse stopped working. Did not try to switch between users.
• Directly installing the ATI driver from the ATI site did not get 3D graphics working, and remapped some keys on my keyboard (wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it).

Radeon Mobility 9600

Autodetected - 3D Support YOU does not have the proprietary driver. See the HOWTO
SUSE Linux Release(s): 10.0

Radeon Mobility M300

Autodetected - 3D Support YOU does not have the proprietary driver. See the HOWTO
SUSE Linux Release(s): 10.0

Radeon Mobility X700

Autodetected - 3D Support YOU does not have the proprietary driver, can only run in 800x600 or 1024x768 with OSS driver, must install ATi fglrx driver for non-vesa resolutions (E.g. 1280x800, 1400x900). See the HOWTO

Can run at 1280x800 with default driver on openSuSE 10.2 x64 and 10.3 x64. Suspend to disk also works fine. 3D requires proprietary ATI driver.

Radeon Mobility X1400

Autodetected - 3D Support Note: As of 11.1, 3D is supported out of the box with the open source drivers, which also supports suspend out of the box (the first version w/ both out of the box on a thinkpad T-60 w/ this card). For openSUSE 10.3 & earlier, 3D and non-VESA resolutions require the proprietary ATi fglrx driver.

Radeon Mobility X1600

Autodetected - 3D Support Need the ATI fglrx driver. See ATI for installation instructions

Radeon X1600 Pro PCI-Express

Autodetected - 3D Support See the HOWTO to enable 3D acceleration. YOU does not have the proprietary driver. SUSE Linux 10.1

Autodetected - 3D Support - Need proprietary drivers version 8.40.4 or 8.3
10.3 : Not detected by xorg radeon driver.
fglrx : Version 8.40.4 - The best openGL performance.
fglrx : Version 8.01 - Stable. Works with AIGLX. Low openGL performance.
fglrx : Version 8.02 - Corruption on openGL.
fglrx : Version 8.3 - Works with AIGLX. Very unstable openGL on x86_64, but better openGL performance. Stable and no corruption on x86.
