I installed from RPM which the instructions indicate takes care of the
necessary changes. Looks like everything was already as you indicated
except "NO_KMS_IN_INITRD" was set to "yes". Changing that did the
trick. Not sure if I should try removing the Kernel:Stable, and
X11:Xorg repos. Probably sit on this for a while.

What change are you referring to? Based on the message it is attempting to use the radeon drivers as I am intending and not fglrx. Additionally, I can still boot the same machine on older kernel that as also used with flgrx.
I updated kernel-firmware from kernel:stable, and updated libdrm* from X11:Xorg, but still receive the same message with 3.10.x. It also still works fine with 3.9.x. Possibly a real bug? Any suggestions on what I should do to debug further?
- libdrm_radeon1 2.4.46-113.1 - kernel-firmware 20130714git-35.1
Otherwise, I am in precarious situation since installing an updated kernel will remove my oldest one and hose my machine (can still boot in fallback with crap drivers). :)
Seems like only two viable options are as follows. - fallback to stable release kernels/firmware/libdrm by removing tumbleweed - install fglrx driver again
Any further thoughts are appreciated.

When You switch from the fglrx driver to the Radeon driver, first of all, You must uninstall the propietary driver it by the script /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh
Some of next changes may have been made by the uninstall script /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh
You must to verify if they are done.:
Then, in Yast -> /etc/sysconfig editor _> System -> Kernel set "NO_KMS_IN_INITRD" to "no"
Then, in Yast -> /etc/sysconfig editor _>System -> Bootloader, remove "nomodeset" from the sections "DEFAULT_APPEND" and "XEN_KERNEL_APPEND"
Then in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf remove # from the line:
#Driver "radeon" it must be: Driver "radeon"
Then, remove the files:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-fglrx.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx.conf
When all the changes are made, execute "mkinitrd", to recreate the initrd with the Radeon driver.
Good luck!
