What's happened with the AMD video drivers?
On the Opensuse website, the link for the ATI/AMD video drivers points to the 11.4 version, but for Nvidia is for the 13.1 version: http://en.opensuse.org/Additional_package_repositories#ATI_video_drivers
One of the reasons may be that radeon driver works better than noveau so that AMD users are not so desperate to mess up their system with closed source drivers.
The difference is such that I avoid use of NVidia hardware for anything other than limited contributions to development/Factory. Most of my systems have Intel or ATI gfxchips, and I've never ever installed a proprietary driver in any Linux release on any of my own systems, and only one time installed proprietary on an NVidia gfx system not my own at the specific direction of its owner. My experience with Nouveau over time has been very clearly inferior to that with Intel, MGA and Radeon. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
