Check out the entry for the Acer 4100WMLi on the opensuse hardware
compatibility page, modern ATi graphics chipsets aren't supported by
the OSS radeon drivers, I believe ATi stopped issuing information on
the chipsets so supporting the chips is difficult to say the least.
The official ATi drivers will provide 2D support, but no 3D support
for *some* chipsets, I believe ATi plan introducing 2D support for
X1nnn series chips sometime later this year, but the Xn00 chips (E.g.
X700) should work in 2D mode after the installation of the official
ATi fglrx driver...

That's odd. 3d works quite well here on an X700. However it doesn't on
my X200 mobility laptop. But 2d is enough there. Both run SUSE 10,

The X700 is running the 'official' ATI driver. The laptop is running the
whatever drivers out of the box.
