ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/XFree86/Xorg/Xorg-X11R6. 8. 0-untested/i386/suse91/
is populated. Has anybody any experience with these packages?
I have tried them with my Radeon-6800.
Installation with rpm -Uhv *.rpm was easy. One has to fix some lines in one's XF86Config to provide for a xorg.conf (take a look at the readme) - easy, too.
Xorg works, but I noticed a big difference in normal 2d-speed. Unfortunately, a difference in the wrong direction: many applications took *much* longer to start.
I searched the net for xcompmgr and transset, compiled them and tried transparency and drop-shadows. Very nice to look at, but unbearably slow.
In the end I re-installed XFree again, its much faster in 2d. Maybe xorg with the ATI-Drivers (fglrx) are better, but I haven't tried them.

Beta 9.2 is underway and it will exclusively use Xorg over XFree. It should be more stable and user friendly. If you continue to post your problems this will help. I am DL'ing the ISO's now and will be installing the beta on my other boxen. Unfortunately the other box uses an nVidia card - as oppossed to my production/home machine that uses a 9600 XT and therefore won't directly relate because of the different vid cards. However the problems you have mentioned should be more or less universal since it sound as if this is Xorg specific and not directly related to ATI/nVidia issues (though I'm sure these cards will present with their own quarks and problems).
