Suse 10.2 uses Xorg 7.2. This driver does not support that.
Further when you do download it and run the test to see what
systems it does support Suse 10.2 x86_64 is absent.
Been there, Done that.

Latest drivers came out on the 13th - and they do Support Xorg 7.2 and
more specfically include a target for SuSE/SUSE102-AMD64
I installed by
1. downloaded installer
2. go to console (CTRL-ALT-F1) and login as root
3. change runlevel to text mode "init 3"
4. verify packages by exe "sh ati-driver-installer...run --listpkg"
5. create SuSE rpm by running "sh ati-driver-installer..run --buildpkg
SuSE/SUSE102-AMD64"
6. install rpm "rpm -ivh fglrx..."
7. run "aticonfig --initial"
8. run sax2 to configure the screen "sax2 -m 0=fglrx"
9. reboot
