Painless, completely:
1. Download the rpms.  Install the fglrx rpm
2. delete the /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx directory
3. install the km_fglrx rpm
4. go into /usr/src/linux, do make cloneconfig and make prepare-all
5. cd into /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx and run make as discribed in
the readme on SUSE's ftp site.
6. run sax2, don't bother with enabling 3d, it works in any case.

Yeah, the old ones were a bitch, but the current ones are easy
