What you want to do is go to schneiderdigital.com (not ati.com) and get the newest 3.9.0 drivers, from the fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm file. (I know it's only a .i386, but the .i586 doesn't work). If you get an error about not having a build or something, install your source files from urpmi. If it says something about versioning... Uninstall your kernel build environment, and then reinstall it, then try the fglrx drivers again. Finally, when you do fglrxconfig MAKE SURE TO PUT THE SECOND CHOICE, it says something about C++ I think, if you don't you won't get jack for frames. Good luck, I hope it works as well for you as it did for me. I have a Radeon 9700 Pro and I get about 3882 fps in glxgears, and about 50 fps in UT2004.
