I recently installed Suse 9.2. It detected my chipset as "Pro Savage
DDR-K" (curious, I did not see the K being anywere in the docs - other
options are "Pro Savage DDR", "Pro Savage KM 133", "Pro Savage PM
133"). The video displays correctly, although it tends to default to
too high a refresh rate (easily fixed by changing it manually).
The big problem is that the provided driver has no 3D acceleration
support. Here are my questions:
1) Is Suse using the Probo driver?
2) Is the detected chipset correct? Should I manually choose a
different one?
3) Does the Probo driver support the full 2D, 3D and other accelerations
available on the chip?
4) If I should download the probo driver, is it possible to find a
binary RPM? Suse 9.2 is so integrated that I suspect that if I update
the configuration the "old way" it might just decide to overwrite it
when it feels like it.
Thanks.
