    • ]]>     If you need to update your installation to work with Intel graphics, there is an RPM you can install that will likely resolve your issues:

    http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mhopf:/hp/SLE_10/i586/intel-i810-xorg-x11-6.9.0.2-8.1.i586.rpm

    Install that, then run Sax or edit xorg.conf, and make sure to pick the i810 driver. (This post is in response to the number of forum posts on this subject offering no solutions)

  • Creative open sources their driver
  • ATI + Compiz
  • Growing FOSS communities through EULA's
    • ]]>     From Phoronix: “The last release of the xf86-video-radeonhd driver was version 1.2.1 and that happened back in April. Since then we have seen a plethora of new work go into this open-source ATI driver for the Radeon R500 series and later. We’ve seen the driver add support for AMD’s 780G Chipset and most notably it has adopted AtomBIOS to be used on the Radeon HD 4800 series and newer. There have also been numerous other improvements to this driver that currently competes with the xf86-video-ati driver. With much of this work now being settled, the Novell development team has released the RadeonHD 1.2.2 driver. In addition, they pushed out the RadeonHD 1.2.3 driver just moments later, which introduces their Command Submission infrastructure.”
