    Trouble Installing ATI Driver 8.5

    Heya,

    This is the first time I've posted up here although I come here sometimes to find info etc. I've recently upgraded my pc and also gone from 10.2 to 10.3 of OpenSuse, I've also switched from nvidia to ati for my graphics card, running a 2600 Radeon at the moment. On installing 10.3 the first thing I did of course was go to the ati site and download the appropriate drivers etc. But on opening terminal and logging in as the super user I get the following error:

    -bash: ./ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run: Permission denied

    Whenever I try to run this command:

    linux-udfs:/home/Okkio # ./ati-driver-installer-8-5-x86.x86_64.run

    I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong and it's slowly driving me mad, does anyone know how to fix it?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    I would guess the file isn't executable.

    Code:
    chmod 750 ati_file.run
    You make also want to invoke the interpreter explicitly:

    Code:
    sh ./ati_file.run
