ATi Display Driver Installation Problem on Suse 11.0

i have installed OpenSuse 11.0
downloaded catalyst 8.9 for linux.
installed as per instructions on amd site....
installation was successful according to the catalyst installation..
[i could notice that the driver was installed (mayb) as i could increase the screen resolution beyond what was available prior to the installation of catalyst]
but when i start the catalyst control centre... i get the following error..



also when i try to enable desktop effect for compiz fusion... the screen bcoms white..
then i have 2 restart 2 get back to the desktop. (or either disable it by unckecking the box ...guesswork on a white screen..)



i would like to know how to get the driver installed properly in order to enable desktop effects...
ty in advance

EDIT:- installation was done by command $su root ./<dloaded *.run file>

One step Install for ATI Drivers in openSUSE 11.0
http://opensuse-community.org/ati.ymp

tried the same... but didnt help.
same error, same problem...
will restart n check if it changes..

EDIT: nope...its the same even after the restart

try to give output of glxinfo and post your xorg.conf file plz

Also please post the contents of /var/log/Xorg.0.log (do it on a pastebin, the output will be quite a lot).

#cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log

alright....after following plenty of guides on how to go abt it....finally came across one which works like charm...
