I finally got Compiz Fusion working on my 64-bit Beta 1 release of Suse 10.3. Here are the steps to follow:

1) Add the XGL repository:
Start YaST > Software > Software Repositories
Add this URL: http://download.opensuse.org/reposit.../SUSE_Factory/

2) Add the required packages from Online Update

3) Enable XGL:
Start YaST > System > /etc/sysconfig editor
Change Xorg to XGL under Other > etc > sysconfig > displaymanager > Displaymanager_Xserver

4)I have an ATI/AMD X1100 integrated graphics card on my laptop and these steps will make everything work:
Download the 8.40.4 driver from ati.amd.com
Under Konsole; su *password*
cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
sh ati *TAB* --buildpkg SuSE/SUSE102-AMD64
rpm -Uvh fglrx *TAB*
sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
*Reboot*

Under Konsole; su *password*
cd /etc/X11
sh xgl-fglrx-setup.sh
kwrite xorg.conf
Change the Extensions section to the following, then save and restart your computer.
Code:
Section "Extensions"
**Option**"DAMAGE"** "no"
**Option**"Composite"**"Enable"
EndSection
You should have XGL working
To enable Compiz Fusion, type this in Konsole; compiz --replace ccp &
If you need the window boarders type; emerald
For Compiz Fusion settings type; ccsm

Enjoy!
