I've just installed OpenSUSE 11.1 b5 and I want to test it with the
proprietary ATI drivers in 3D compiz mode to see how things work. This
is the first time I've run a beta version.

First just try activating compiz using radeonhd drivers, it might just work.

http://dev.compiz-fusion.org/~cyberorg/2008/09/29/compiz-without-fglrx-on-opensuse-111/

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me. When I try and "Enable desktop
effects", I get a dialog saying my hardware isn't supported.

Try the following as normal user:

SKIP_CHECKS=yes compiz-manager --replace&

Here is the related portion of the xorg.conf. I manually added the "DRI"
option but still no luck.


I assume you restarted X after doing that.

----

Section "Device"
BoardName "Mobility Radeon HD 2600"
Driver "radeonhd"
Identifier "Device[0]"
Option "DRI" "1"
...
