SuSE Linux / ATI Drivers Problem (Brightness)

I've heard that this is fixed in newer versions of the ATI driver. I can't confirm that, since I'm a nvidia user (most Linux users prefer Nvidia cards).

I'd make sure you're using the latest ATI driver. More business geared distributions like Red Hat, SuSE, etc often don't keep up with new versions of software/drivers between releases of the distributions, unless the updates fix a security issue. You can't hardly blame them considering the development cycle for any Linux distribution is around 6 months compared to Microsoft putting out new versions of Windows once every four or five years Big grin

hehe... that's right, i'll better need to change the brand... i think that's gonna get me out of problems. The courious thing is that yesterday i've started SuSE to test other ways to solve it and it just started normally, the brightness is normal Now. It solved for itself Shock. COol! Linux Rocks! Happy
