Hmm.

I'm not happy.
I follow this, and end up getting pointed to "legacy drivers"
and a package that doesn't seem to like like "desktop" and doesn't list
anything for 11.2
http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/Legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.4.1&product=2.4.1.3.21&lang=English



Am I following the wrong links?

I get to http://en.opensuse.org/ATI_drivers#The_hard_way
and that package doesn't seem to correspond to the instructions tat
follow.  Probably 'cos its a "legacy".

It looks like I'll stick with the 'radeon' driver
