The reason this post is somewhat lengthy is that it consists of the bulk of three that I posted on the openSUSE forum, but unfortunately was not able to receive the help I needed there.
11.1 and a Radeon 9500 pro using latest Ati driver with installer or by generating rpm. Cannot configure with aticonfig or sax2. Aticonfig will say found unitialized file..configuring, then segmentation fault. Sax will run and configure in Kde but after reboot will not boot to desktop. I have run it simply by calling sax2 and by sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx. Sax will not run either way if I drop to runlevel 3 first. All I will get is a black screen.
I am unable to install any Ati proprietary driver in 11.1.
I used both the graphical installer from the Ati driver download pages and the wiki page instructions here:http://en.opensuse.org/Howto/ATI_Driver. I made sure everything was in the system this page and the driver release notes say I should that I could, however there are things that do not appear in Yast and I do not know how to make sure they are in the system:
XFree86-Mesa-libGL
XFree86-libs
compat-libstdc++
It needs glibc version 2.3 I have 2.9
It needs libgcc I have libgcc43
it needs libstdc++. I have libstdc++33
It needs libdrm 2.3 I have 2.4
During setup with the installer it says" //usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/fglrx_dri.so: File exists, but afterwards the file is there.
After running sax2 or sax2 -r or sax2 -r 0=fglrx All I get is a black screen on reboot.
After running sax3 -r -m -0-fglrx and rebooting it says runlevel 5 failed and if I type startx I get this error:
-no matching device section for instance (Bus Id) PCI:0@1:0:1 found.
That is not a typo the "@" was in the line.
I put "BusId "PCI:0@1:0:1"" in xorg.conf in the device section and then it said the same thing plus: no matching device section for instance (Bus Id) PCI:0@1:0:0 as well. I put that in and nothing changed.

You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
