openSUSE 11.4 Part 1

Well, I originally installed it back in March and had some Xorg permission problems on my AMD Athlon 64 x2 (which has a ATI Radeon X1650 Pro), but I got it to work enough, but decided to not stick with it since I had to login via command line and then startx every time.

Well, after learning a lot more, I reinstalled it on my laptop in the 25GB partition on my hard drive (test-bed space) and proceeded to zypper the FGLRX driver via command line. After several hours later (because of an unreliable internet connection) I finally was successful and got into GNOME without having to do anything special (minus using zypper to install FGLRX, which is pretty minor).

The only problem is that Xorg lagged considerably, but after updating the kernel, it went away by itself.

I still need to update and install everything that I have installed in 11.3 to do some further testing to see if it really is any different and if it's worth upgrading/fresh installing.
