        I'm using OpenSuse 10.3. I didn't realize RadeonHD came in rpm. I see 
Suse 
doesn't include it as part of their distro. I see pbone.net offers       
xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.1.0_080327_1623f86-1.2.x86_64.rpm, but when 
I try installing that it makes this cryptic demand for:
        libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.7)(64bit) is needed by 
xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.1.0_080327_1623f86-1.2.x86_64
        rpmlib(PayloadIsLzma) <= 4.4.2-1 is needed by 
xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.1.0_080327_1623f86-1.2.x86_64
My glibc is 2.6.1 and I can't find any rpmlib. I'm not sure how to proceed 
from here.

        BTW, I *do* have xorg-x11-driver-video-7.2-189.2 which includes:
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.la
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.so
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeonold_drv.la
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeonold_drv.so
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeonrandr12_drv.la
/usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/radeonrandr12_drv.so
but I take it that they are no good.
