I had the latest ati driver installed from the repository. And also had the compiz fusion installed from the onclick installed from the wiki page.
The problem is that when I use the fglrx driver and enable the xgl, it end up with dazzling display(I'm not a native English user so I'm not sure whether this was the correct word. The whole screen was not displayed correctly, ) Other thing's went well, I can log in, and can see that the compiz is running. (Though I can't really see any useful things.)
Even without xgl, the ati driver had problems: I can't switch to the console, If I pressed ctrl+alt+f1, my monitor will tell me "No Signal". and the keyboard lost response.
If I use the vesa driver, there's no problem, but it's too slow with xgl.
Any suggestiongs?
I have tried all the things on the ATI page of the opensuse wiki, none worked.
Thanks.

I found that you do not need XGL with the new ATIdriver. You only need to enable AIGLX from your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file... read >>
http://en.opensuse.org/AIGLX for some small instructions.
I have the following relevant xorg.conf lines (ignore the ... lines) :

Hope that helps NightStone or anyone else (since NightStone seems to have gone back to 32bit)
