Xorg ATI Driver (working, but not fully)

I am running Suse 9.2 on some Sony Vaio computer. It has a Radeon videocard, so I installed the fglrx drivers on Xorg. However, when I switch my driver from "radeon" to "fglrx", the 3d acceleration (open gl) is gone. I do get TV-out using fglrx. When I use the radeon driver, I get an acceptable speed in glxgears, but I don't have any TV-out. Can anybody please help me with this?!

//edit: I got it fixed somehow. I'm not sure how I did it, but when I rebooted it started using the new modules instead of the mesa gl ones. Woohoo :D

Great going! :)

If you find out what the fix was in the future, please post them to this thread so other people can get help if they have the same problem.
