Hi
The subject line pretty much says it all.
I've been trying to install the fglrx64_6_9_0_SUSE101-8.28.8-1.x86_64.rpm
onto my system. But I ran into the dependency run around. I'm running suse 10.1 (64)
and I need lib files from Glibc-2.2.5 and 2.3 and libgcc-s.so and it goes on. So when I try to install the Glib rpms, I'm told I already have them or newer ones just to rub it in some. This is really driving me nuts.

Try to find a newer version of the package or use the --force option (this may
break the driver).


As an experience user what kinda of a video card do you prefer? and
what are you currently using?

Ps: I had to add following option in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf to play
full screen movie :)

Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"

.
