Many tutorials on how to install the driver have been available to be followed, so I’ll try to avoid many repotition of them. Now I just want to remind you about the newest version, ATI Catalyst™ Display Driver v. 10.5 *, that has already come.
Just update your driver to get the improvements and (maybe) bug-fixes, see the release notes for it.
*) For the ATI RADEON (9500 and later), MOBILITY RADEON (M10 and later), RADEON XPRESS IGP and FireGL (Z1 and later) series.
The installation of this driver on openSUSE 11.2 is relatively easy, but the one who wants the newest version should do with the hard way. Actually it is not so hard, only typing several commands in console like it was on openSUSE 11.1. (more…)

I didn’t notice that new fglrx driver had been released in February 20th after finding that my RSS feed didn’t tell me any update of new driver releases these days. It’s strange, until I recognize the feed URL has been changed to the new one.
Did I do something wrong?

When I bought this laptop, because wanted to have dedicated vga controller. I knew that it was shipped with ATI Mobility Radeon™ X1300 graphic adapter, it’s my challenge to install the driver and get it worked properly as it has some issue in installing process by (end) user that day.
Today, no more pain when we do that trough easy way 
, until you are in a situation that need to have newest version. That’s your time to try this way (that i usually do, even i don’t really need those new features anyway, just for having fun! 
).
ATI Catalyst is a utility software driver package for several ATI products for several operating systems. The Catalyst software was instituted after the release of the Radeon 8500. This driver development paradigm at ATI promised monthly driver updates which included performance enhancements, bug fixes, and new features. As of 2007, the Catalyst driver package typically included ATI Catalyst Control Center; an interface for manipulating many of the hardware’s functions, such as 3D settings, monitor controls, video options, among other things. It also offered a small 3D preview, allowing the user to see how changes to the graphics settings affected the quality of the rendered image.
See the release note to know new features in this ATI Catalyst™ 9.1 Proprietary Linux Display Driver. (more…)
