I installed the x11-video-fglrxG03 one and after reboot, the fbdev driver was in use instead of fglrx. I had to manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (file created by the installer) and force to load fglrx kernel module and change driver fbdev by fglrx in device section. After doing that and restarting X, the driver fglrx is in use and I finally have a good desktop performance. I see here a bug because I think that the installer scripts of the package should write the right configuration in xorg.conf and user should not has to edit it manually. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. 2. Enable "ATI-Driver-SLE11-SP3" repository. 3. Install x11-video-fglrxG03 package. 4. Reboot the system. Actual Results: You will note that fbdev driver is in use instead of fglrx for graphics card, having a really bad desktop performance. Expected Results: After reboot, fglrx driver should be in use for graphics card, having a good desktop performance.
