There are a few different ways and many different webpages which teach you how to install the ATi drivers, however this guide should be always kept up to date with the most current method of installing the drivers. This guide will work for installing the ATi Drivers on OpenSuSE 11.0, 11.1 & 11.2 The Really Easy Way – Repository
