If this has been posted already, then I missed it....SORRY! Earlier tonight, I added http://www2.ati.com/suse/11.2/ to the repositories on a client laptop I mentioned here about a week ago that has the ATI HD-3100 chipset. I installed the site that covers that series, rebooted into init 3, ran sax2, saved the new config., and then issued init 5. Acceleration and 3D now work! Thanks to whomever in the openSUSE community or Novel who got things moving at ATI!

Great news Fred. I hope it includes drivers for all the cards that used to work with the ATI because even tho some of them were on ATIs site, they wouldn't build under 11.2.
David Rankin will be happy to hear this if it works. I'm trying mine now.
Don't bother with this if you have a Radeon model less than 2000. It STILL broken. fglrx still detects xorg 7.1 when you are actually running 7.4, and fails to load.
Hopeless bunch of bozos those AMD guys.
'Sorry to hear that! Is it AMD devs. or ATI buffoons? I suspect the latter simply because they never have been able to get their act together!!
