ATI FirePro™ RG220 Unified Driver Version 8.911.3.3 on SLED11 SP2 not working

Hello,

first of all I have to say that my English isn't best but I hope you'll understand the problem.

I need to test Remote Workstation Graphics ATI FirePro™ RG220. Workstation I use is HP Proliant DL360 G7 with new instalation of SLED11 SP2. I found a "manual", how to correctly install Unified Driver 8.911.3.3 (according to patch notes, this graphics card and OS distribution are supported).

  • Download latest driver from AMD/ATI driver page
  • Open Yast2 and install: kernel-devel,kernel-desktop-devel,Gcc,Gcc c++,Make
  • Reboot, and add this to the GRUB startup options: radeon.modeset=0 blacklist=radeon 3
  • When you boot into console, become root and run: # mkinitrd
  • Afterwards, cd to download directory and run installer: # sh ati-driver-installer-*.run
  • Select default options all the way, then: # aticonfig --initial
  • And last: # /sbin/shutdown -r now

Problem is that after driver installation, at the point where I'm suppose to create initial aticonfig all  I get is this error message:

  • aticonfig: No supported adapters detected

So I'd like to find out if I do "something" wrong or if SLED11 SP2 is not supported yet or if mistake is somewhere else.

With best regards, Petr.

After installing the driver can you please check if the kernel modules were built correctly. Please run modprobe -v fglrx and check if you get any error messages.

It might be that on SLED you need to allow loading unsupported modules. To do so please edit /etc/modprobe.d/unsupported-modules and set the value of ALLOW_UNSUPPORTEDMODULES to 1
