Ben,
What new driver are are you referring to and where can I get it? The
drivers I have are:
[root rankin-p35a/home/david] # rpm -qa | grep fglrx
ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default-8.41.7_2.6.22.5_30-1.1
x11-video-fglrxG01-8.41.7-5.1
and I can't find any newer at
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/linux/linux-radeon.html or
www2.ati.com/suse/10.3
