So its true? no 7.2 support for old drivers and no 9000 support for new ones.
I got my radeon 9000 to work with the "one click" method in oS 10.3. The driver version posted at that time was 8.41.7. This worked fine for me, but I didn't test TV out. It did run 3d nicely. I see a newer driver version posted at http://en.opensuse.org/ati. These drivers are supposed to with with xorg 7.2
Good luck,

Thats strange, when navigating the AMD/ATI site I get to driver version 8.28 for Radeon 9000 on xorg 7.1 (max). I guess 10.3 is using xorg 7.2? How can this be? does the openSUSE build service stock proprietary ATI drivers? or what does the one-click actually do?
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.

Tried, not working yet. Im still on 10.2, my mythtv box is now stable and I dont want to rip it apart. I installed the ATI driver from the site - ver 8.42.3 - and it completed without errors. But when I edit xorg.conf to take fglrx as driver it just comes back with "no devices found" error (radeon drv works fine). Can you maybe pass on your xorg.conf file? For reference.

I don't know if it is 100% related, but to get a background for just how bad the ATI and standard Radeon drivers are broken for the ATI Mobility Radeon 9600/9700 series, see: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338930 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338947 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=340459 Not good... -- David C.
