Well, I tried the Xorg (OSS) version of the driver (radeonhd) and looks like the support for this specific card is not available..
Hence, I tried installing the vendor driver the AMD ATI Catalyst for Linux.
well, before that, we have to uninstall radeonhd (SUSE : YAST->Software management) which is installed by default when the OS is installed..
now download this
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run
do the following
chmod +x /temp/ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run
sh ./temp/ati-driver-installer-11-2-x86.x86_64.run
choose auto discovery option then shutdown -r now
you should have the display driver installed and all the 3D effect you wanted.
I must say, the rendering performance is much slower than the radeonHD opensource version, but radeonHD driver has some driver load issues when booted without the nomodeset option due to the recent switch to DKMS route chosen by the Linux community...
As always, open source developers will find a way out for this.
