Hi all,
just a heads up. If you use the ATI binary driver, and install the latest kernel update (2.6.34.7-0.3), then you will no longer be able to recompile the ATI driver due to missing compat_alloc_user_space() symbol in fglrx/kcl_ioctl.c.
According to http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1277377, the "compat_alloc_user_space()" symbol became GPL-only, got moved to another header, etc.
Personally, I find it unbelievable that openSUSE kernel team would release a minor kernel upgrade that would screw up all users of the ATI binary driver.
For the record, I was bitten by this one too. My desktop now has horrible GUI performance. I wasn't aware of the real issue, the ATI install process seemed to complete without error, but whatever driver it silently falls back to is horrible. The kernel update was driven by the dbus issue screwing things up in a different way.
