I know from installing the ATI Propriety driver in Suse 10.0 that installation was a little tricky and it never did allow 3D acceleration.
Er, I had various Radeon 9xxx cards running with 3D acceleration on x86_64 machines from SuSE 9.2 onwards. The whole point of fglrx is that it gives you hardware OpenGL! It must have been a specific problem with your installation...
Anyway, glad to hear it works now :)
I think that the main difference for me this time was that I attempted to change the settings in YAST with the graphics mode turned off. This made it easier for SAX to suggest settings and change them on the fly. I believe that my previous attempt in Suse 10 was hampered by me attempting to change the settings via YAST while I was still in normal graphics display mode. I'm not completely sure but I think that my system could not turn Agpgart off while running it. Also this time the graphics card was already installed in my system while under 10.0, my system had been running the on board nVidia driver and then I physically installed the Radeon card. There are always a ton of variables when you make these changes. Ralph
