I went thru the same thought process, but the newer versions of the drivers do support xorg 7.2 in opensuse 10.3. The one click method installs the same driver as ATI, they are closed source binaries after all, it just makes for an easier install. It simply runs a routine where it adds the ATI source to yast and install it for you with yast. Give it a try, it worked on my radeon 9000. Make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf first if you want to play it safe so you can easily restore it in case you encounter any problems.
Can somebody tell me why if opensuse repo ATI driver is the same as ATI driver from their www site
ATI web site show that drivers are from 9500
and
openuse ATI repo show that the drivers are from 8xxx or 9000
This was discussed on this list earlier. I don't know why the 2 sites appear to indicate different information, but the driver on opensuse.org is supposed to work with xorg 7.2. It did for me. Perhaps others could explain the differences, or maybe the wiki makes a clarification, or ati updates their site?
