Hello,
I have recently installed openSUSE 13.1. (clean install you could say, not an upgrade on top of the old version)
I am using a ASUS K53TK laptop with an AMD APU A6, with APU integrated graphics card and a dedicated HD 7670M 1GB. In the latest version of openSUSE (12.3) I was using the proprietary AMD drivers, because without them I can't keep the CPU cool, and energy consumption at a reasonable level!
So when I went to install the AMD drivers (catalyst version 13.12), at the end of the installation I received a warning message saying something like: the installation completed with errors.
After restarting the laptop, the login screen was gone, instead I was presented with a console version of the log in screen, after entering my account info, I still wasn't presented with kde, but with the console. I am guessing that X couldn't start, but I actually do not know enough to see if that was what had happened.
So I did the only thing that I could do - uninstalled fglrx - and after reboot everything was back to normal.
I repeated the proccess after download a fresh copy of the "catalyst-13.12-linux-x86.x86_64.zip" archive, to make sure it wasn't some sort of corruption, but the result is always the same!
Here is the log that was created after the installation (that completes with errors). [Bash] fglrx instal - Pastebin.com
I defenitly need to use this drivers as energy consumption is ridiculous without them.
Also, I have installed kernel-devel, since the installation required kernel-headers!
Thanks in advance
