I’m posting here in case anyone else has a problem. It seems that the new kernel 3.14.1 has changes that break the ATI proprietary fglrx installer. I have already filed a bug at the ATI bug reporting forum. Perhaps Sebastian Siebert can have a look and make something of the fglrx-install.log file I’m pasting. Graphics card is a Radeon HD7870, four CPU cores running at 2.6 GHz, and 12GB of ECC registered RAM. Using the ATI 14.3 beta installer, which worked perfectly on previous kernels. Running openSUSE 13.1 with current updates.
Supported adapter detected.
Check if system has the tools required for installation.
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.

The drivers don’t support the 3.14 kernel yet. The stable driver (13.9) supports up to kernel 3.11 and the beta supports up to 3.13, you can find it in the release notes.
# Changelog:
# Version 5.42 - add support for AMD Catalyst 14.3 beta V1.0
# - update the packaging script for support up Kernel 3.14
@purevw:
Apparently you are installing it for kernel 3.14.0, not 3.14.1:

Do you have the wrong kernel-source/kernel-xxx-devel installed?
Edit: Oops, sorry. Forget that.
There is NO kernel 3.14.1 yet.
The latest stable one is actually 3.14.0 and that’s what you have installed, not 3.14.1.
