ATI/Radeon cards
    Install ATI's proprietary driver, which apparently supports only 
    OpenGL v. 2.
    This includes installation of an RPM like fglrx64_6_8_0_SUSE100.
    See files
        /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/README.SuSE
        /usr/share/doc/packages/fglrx/tips-linux.html
    Most importantly, to see if 3d hardware rendering is working, run
     "fglrxinfo" and see if the "OpenGL vendor" string is "ATI...".

    Somebody says to run rckdm stop" to disable kde in int 3.  (?)
    Saysm must run:  fglrxkernel-build shell.

    NEW VERSION OF ATI DRIVER
    Download the rpm and the installer.  Bash the installer.
    Then need to run aticonfig and reboot.


New try with updated Suse 1.0.1 on Sun Sep 23 22:25:25 EDT 2007
Generated Suse 10.1 64 bit rpm with ATI download .run file.
After install rpm, save X config, then run
    aticonfig --initial
Run "aticonfig" again to set up.
They suggest reboot.

W/ OpenSuSE 10.3:
Oct 10 21:34:33 beyla kernel: [fglrx] Internal AGP is not supported in 2.6 kernel.



NVIDIA INSTRUCTIONS UPDATED 2008/03/10 at
glxinfo reports useful details.
http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/nvidia-installer-HOWTO.html#2
ATI INSTRUCTIONS still look very unlikely to work.
Put:
    Option "NvAGP" "0"
info Device section of xorg.conf.  Makes things work on my AGP system.
(Masks an AGP, Kernel, or MB problem.  Makes use agpgart?).
