For some reason openSUSE 11 installed the pae kernel on both my laptop and my 
desktop, 10.3 was running the default kernel.  Anyways my laptop has a ATI 
Radeon Xpress 1100 and I have the the same driver version as you installed:

ati-fglrxG01-kmp-pae-8.493_2.6.25.5_1.1-2.1
x11-video-fglrxG01-8.493-7.1

The only problem I have had was, aticonfig --initial messed up my xorg.conf 
(had to remake it by hand) and my system locked up once but that is it.  
Maybe it is something with the ATI driver and Compiz because (I do not intend 
to start a flame war or anything) I am using KDE4 and Kwin's compositing 
features and I don't have this problem.
