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Try to find a newer version of the package or use the --force option (this may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?

It's a bit different, depends on the CPU of the computer, on my x86 based
machines it's nVidia cards with the closed source driver (waiting for the open
source 3D driver to be finished). On my other systems, Sparc and PowerPC it's
Radeon cards with the open source driver.

I am also using Radeon, however, with close source drivers, it works
great with 3d games, gl apps. How is open source driver?
