  • Solution1: install the ATI driver from the ATI repo.

Open a terminal and type:

su -l
zypper ar http://www2.ati.com/suse/11.4/ ati
zypper refresh
zypper in x11-video-fglrxG02
  • Solution2: Install the latest ATI driver (one out of several ways)

Open a terminal and type:

su -l
zypper ar [noparse]http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/please_try_again/openSUSE_11.4/[/noparse]  PTA
zypper refresh -r PTA
zypper in atiupgrade

But better take a look at this post first: Upgrading ATI driver with atiupgrade - Page 6

The driver from the ATI repo is usually older but supports your graphic card (HD 3400 series). The latest driver might have fixed some bugs or added some performance.
