The one click method installs the same driver as ATI, they are closed source binaries after all, it just makes for an easier install. It simply runs a routine where it adds the ATI source to yast and install it for you with yast. Give it a try, it worked on my radeon 9000. Make a backup copy of /etc/X11/xorg.conf first if you want to play it safe so you can easily restore it in case you encounter any problems.
