ati-fglrx (http://www.linuxpackages.net/pkg_details.php?id=7254)
Get the package, ati-fglrx-8.16.20-i386-1tsu.tgz, as above downloaded to your home directory. Open a console, "su", password, "installpkg ati-fglrx-8.16.20-i386-1tsu.tgz", it will install, then open a dialogue, I accepted all the defaults, ( using a Radeon 9600XT with Vector Linux), and then rebooted and had glxgears to 2900, fglrxinfo would show ATI's GL. And I did it while in a GUI desktop.
Now with Suse I used the newest ATI installer after going to "init 3" and then in the home directory where you downloaded it (cd /home/username/):
"root@linux# chmod 777 ./ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-i386.run
root@linux# ./ati-driver-installer-8.22.5-i386.run --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE100-IA32
root@linux# rpm -Uhv ./fglrx_6_8_0_SUSE100-8.22.5-1.i386.rpm
and then used "aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf".
