hi, GUYS ,

When i try to install " ATI Proprietary Linux x86_64 Driver 8.16.20 for Radeon Xpress 200 Series" on my " ATI Radeon XPress 200G RS480 " On Board Graphics , in ' SuSE 9.3 x86_64 Professional ' it fails , and after so many efforts i learnt one thing that THE FOLLOWING TWO IMPORTANT MODULES ARE MISSSING in my SuSE 9.3 x86_64 ( 64 BIT Version of SuSE ).

1. ati_agp

2. agpgart

Very interestingly, when i install x86 ( 32 BIT Version ) Suse 9.3 Professional on the same system, within 5 minutes , my system was updated with new ATI Properietry Drivers and every thing was smooth and steady. I got my desired 1280 X 1024 Resolution , 3D Support , 24 BIT (Million Colors ) etc.

But what is the benefit of AMD 64 BIT computer when you have to run x86 (32 BIT) Operating System..........

So please , Any body out of you experts, CAN TELL ME THAT HOW CAN I INSTALL THESE TWO MODULES in x86_64 ( 64 BIT) SuSE ,

or

IS THERE ANY OTHER PROBLEM ( But i don't think so that it is )

SO PLEASE ANY BODY , Put some Light on ' ati_agp ' & ' agpgart ' Modlues. What do these do in the system and why and how do they become such indispenable. ? ? ?

-Regards.
