Following a system update, I can no longer run SL.
The log gets pretty far, but trips up on creating a window.

Try the command 'glxinfo' and there is an option to make the video frame buffer 32bit, that should do it. Denpending on X it is Option DefaultBBP" "32"

Your ATI drivers are not installed properly. You are not using accelerated glx. |

Tzu With my suse 10, I have to reinstall the video driver (NVidia) if I get a kernel update. The simplest way I have found, is to start suse 10 in failsafe mode (so the driver is not loaded), and install the driver again from the command line. If the driver somehow got loaded, an rmmod is necessary in order to reinstall - hence using fail safe. The other method, is letting suse start X, then init 3 to get rid of X - but then you HAVE to use rmmod to remove the video driver so that the reinstall can take place. As I said, this is my experience with nvidia; it may be the same with ATI, I would guess...
