ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/sup.../X/XFree86/ATI). Install it as it is explicitly shown in the installation text file.
This version contains the package to update the kernel for ATI and the driver.
After you have installed the program
First, use the program fglrxinfo
One important question to answer is to answer yes to Use external AGP and be sure to add the line
/sbin/insmod agpgart
in the file /etc/rc.d/boot.local to load the module.
reboot and all should be right.
