I had Stellarium working fine on openSUSE 10.3 computers (Thinkpad T series)
with the fglrx driver, and on computers (Dell desktop & no-name) without the
fglrx driver ("openSUSE default", so to speak). I've upgraded some of those
computers from 10.3 to 11.0. On the Thinkpad with fglrx driver, Stellarium
works, but only under a graphical root login (starting from a root shell under
a different graphical login makes the screen remain black). On the updated Dell
box, Stellarium remains black, same on a freshly installed (openSUSE 11.0)
iAtom/mini PC box.
On all 11.0 boxes I see this when starting Stellarium:

So I get warnings, but no errors. In fact, Stellarium starts with the usual
splash screens (loading nebulae etc.), but then the sky remains black. It also
doesn't hang, but can rather be terminated with ALT+F4.
I've googled a lot, and found others have encountered similar problems with
Stellarium recently, but I haven't found a resolution. My Stellarium version is
0.9.1.
For reference, here's the xorg.conf of my freshly installed openSUSE 11.0 box
(iAtom CPU, 64-bit, but as indicated the problem is there on 32-bit as well):
