XGL working on my Ferrari 3200 (AMD64) machine with SUSE 10.0 (x86_64).Card ATI Mobility Radeon 9700
Driver: fglrx version 8.19 (proprietary Ati driver)
Had it working before, but it was S L O W.
What I did this time.
Followed the howto on opensuse.org/xgl.
There are issues with the latest ATI drivers so I decided to use an older driver:
(download from the ATI site version 8.19)
In the normal procedure you build a rpm from the ati-driver, you don't use the ATI gui install.
I installed the rpm and than started the ati driver again, the GUI install. see readme
sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.19.10-x86_64.run

The iso is so popular, u can't download it :)
