ATI driver cannot find XFree86 on the system

I have just installed openSUSE 11.2. I tried to install the ATI driver for Radeon 8500 but it complains that no XFree86 can be found. Doesn't openSUSE come with XFree86 installed?

Xorg is available on your openSuSE 11.2 disk, but I don't know if you installed it. If you installed KDE or Gnome, then you did. If you installed a base install, then you didn''t. XFree86 hasn't been used for ages. Provide details on what driver you are trying to install and how.
Maybe it just refers to XFree86 in a generic sense for X11.

Look at "zypper se X11" to see if you have Xorg packages installed.
