MESA OpenGl is a hack... it's not direct hardware accelerated OpenGL, it's software OpenGL translation calls... so it's basicly your CPU and memory doing the work of the accelerated video card... works, but badly.
Your chipset and driver situation is important. Follow the advise of the guy who posted before me and show what your hardware configuration is.

You need to install ATi drivers for your video card. Go to ATi website, donwload and install the drivers.
You'll find tutorials as well on how to install the drivers

Then is something wrong with your config file, because you don't have 3D enabled. Have a look into your xorg.conf file to see any possible error there.

do
Code:
cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
to see any possible errors
do as well to see modules loaded
Do you have agpgart enabled?
Did you choose the automatic or the manual install? Try to do the manual (if chosen the automatic) and verify you choose the right options for your system. |

Shouldn't his DRI group be 0666 instead of 0660???
Maybe that is why he isn't getting accelerated video...

ati drivers does not support 3d. U have to use fglrx drivers, don't know how to get them to suse. For Fedora, can find them at livna.org. Also have the src there - might works.

Mesa3D is not a hack. It is another 3D rendering project like DirectX. Most projects copy OpenGL because it is used world wide in several professional applications and it is portable to many OS.
I think fglrx uses dri not glx, so comment the glx line in the module section.
The mode 0660 in the DRI section is alright but only if you are in the video section and you include Group "video" in the DRI section. If you are not and/or testing purposes, I suggest using 0666.
I recommend backing up your xorg.conf before editing it.
