Hi all SuSE users,

After installation of SuSE9.2 on my AMD64 system, the 3D functionality of the Radeon 9600 was not available. I then downloaded the drivers (fglrx-8.14.13-0.1.x86_64.rpm) and (km_fglrx-8.14.13-0.1.x86_64.rpm) from the ftp.suse... site, and installed without problems.

3D games now work fine (160 fps) and all OpenGL screensavers work fine and I am convinced that the 3D is now enabled. However yast still reports that 3D is not available. Previously the games warned me that 3D was not available, and it was impossible to play because of the lagging.

Why does yast still report 3D not available?

Thanks for your help.
