Hi,
Whoever wants to try, with todays kernel update using ATI and NVIDIA commercial drivers should now be possible (again).
Add as ZYPP / YUM source:
http://www2.ati.com/suse/ as repo for ATI drivers and
I just had to write and say that I was very pleasantly surprised with my experience of SUSE this afternoon. I have a laptop with SUSE 10.1 (that my wife mainly uses). So I thought that I would give XGL a go. I had added the source above for ATI, but not installed anything. Added xgl etc. When I started Desktop Enhancements in the Control Centre, it prompted me that my video driver needed updating, and to my surpise a button to do it. When clicked it then downloaded the propriatary ATI driver and installed it. It then said that 3D needed to be enabled and offered a button to do that through SAX2. And voila, restart and my desktop wobbles and spins, with XGL. This is leaps and bounds from my XGL experience just a few months ago. At the time I would never have guessed I would go from generic video driver to a full XGL enabled system in 3 clicks. Well done.
