Oh yes and i have the kernel source files installed and stuff.

So you did all this:
AGPGART needs proper drivers (Why it doesn't have those already... I just don't get)
1. First make sure that agpgart is loading properly.
2. To find out which AGP controller your motherboard uses, issue the following command: lspci | grep AGP
3. To find a list of AGP related kernel modules installed on your machine, issue the following command and look for a module (*.ko file) that suits your AGP Controller: ls /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/agp
4. Use the modprobe command (as root) to load the module. For example: On a motherboard using a VIAŽ AGP Controller, you would load the via-agp.ko using modprobe as follows (notice that the trailing .ko is omitted): modprobe via-agp. Check the modprobe manpage for more information on loading kernel modules.
5. To verify that the AGP module is already loaded, run lsmod as root. With the X server running and the connection established, the usage count of this module must be greater than zero.
Enable POSIX shared memory.
To enable POSIX Shared Memory on your system, perform the following as root:
1. Add the following line to /etc/fstab (if it isn't there already): tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
2. Mount shared memory as follows: mount /dev/shm
3. Issue the following command to check that it mounted properly: mount | grep "shm"
If the mount was successful, then the following output (or similar) should appear:
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
Install the kernel source
The Linux Kernel Source is highly critical, I have no clue why, as it really shouldn't need it, but the ATI installer does. So you need to use either the install CDs/DVD or an FTP site, and get the Linux Kernel source installed.
Check on glibc 2.2 or higher being installed.
If it isn't, same as the Linux Kernel Source, get it.
Xorg 6.8.2 or Xfree4.1, 4.2, or 4.3
Then once you know which you have, you need to match the version to the fglrx driver you get from ATI. For SuSE 10 this is XOrg 6.8.2
Once all those have been checked off the list, install the XOrg fglrx tool first, then run the shell script install from ATI. Then run the fglrx from command prompt and install as per their(ATI's official install) instructions, then pop off and pop back on and there you go.
Let me know how that went.
