WHOA COWBOY,
What are you doing trying to load the 9-2 driver (8.582), first things first, go get the 9-3 driver packages (Version 8.593) and then let's make another run at getting your laptop working. The 9-2 driver was so screwed up it caused my laptop to reboot on xdm start.
Go get:
https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-drive r-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run
for 10.3 x86_64 build the rpm with
sh ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE103-AMD64
for 11.0 x86_64 build the rpm with
sh ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE110-AMD64
for 11.1 x86_64 build the rpm with
sh ati-driver-installer-9-3-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE111-AMD64
Then follow my install instructions (from the ATI install instructions):
***** NOTE the example below is for version (8.532) the 8-9 driver, so don't forget to use the current package in the steps below:
(1) make sure the 'kernel-source' package is installed, if not, then install it (as root):
zypper in kernel-source
(2) Build the fglrx rpm from the install package.
i586:
sh ati-driver-installer-8-9-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE110-IA32
x86_64
sh ati-driver-installer-8-9-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE110-AMD64 SuSE/SUSE110-AMD64
(3) make a copy of your current xorg.conf so sax2 won't screw it up
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /tmp/xorg.conf
** if not in runlevel 3, go to runlevel 3 now **
(4) (as root for all remaining commands)
init 3
(5) Removing old fglrx driver
rpm -e $(rpm -qa | grep fglrx)
(6) Preparing the kernel source (not 100% necessary, but proper)
cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig > /dev/null 2>&1 make modules_prepare make clean
(7) Install the new fglrx rpm you created, example:
rpm -Uvh fglrx64_7_1_0_SUSE110-8.532-1.x86_64.rpm
(8) Initialize your xorg.conf for the new driver:
aticonfig --initial
(9) Add options to the end of /etc/X11/xorg.conf to enable compiz:
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "true" Option "DAMAGE" "true" EndSection
(10) REBOOT

Right then done everyting but still need libstdc++.so.5 that i am lead to believe is in libstdc-compat now where the jiffin hell do i get that from right now google seems to be about as much use as a chocolate teapot in a transport cafe.
