Someone with ATI Radeon 9700 mobility and Linux?

try this as root with X deactivated

console

init 3
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/firegl -i
startx

i cant use nit3 and sax2 commands. How do i close X sesion? i know how start it but i don know how end it.
I will use SuSe 9.3. While i will use winxp only. Ths for all the help. I have few time with linux, its possible that i made something wrong.

sorry i meant init 3
but when you want to use suse 93 its ok.
i like it

im going to try init 3. I have seen that suse 9.3 is the best distribution for desktop. Mandrake is great too, but i want to try other distribution, and suse seems great.

Could it maybe be a conflict between the Mesa libs and the ones installed by the Ati driver?
Just a thought because the same happened to me with the nVidia drivers and I had to make some changes like the ones described in this thread: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2003-November/msg00756.html
The thread is about nVidea on RedHat/Fedora so won’t be of any help but there is a possibility that the cause might be similar in your case maybe?
