As of May 2nd, a bunch of new rpm for FGLRX has been released for openSUSE 11.4 to 13.1 including Tumbleweed
Notice
This release concern only owners of radeon HD5xxx or above.
For older gpu, the fglrx-legacy is still 13.1, and thus didn’t work with openSUSE 12.3 or above.
SDB:AMD_fgrlx_legacy
Beware of that, and prefer the free open-source radeon driver which came out of the box from your openSUSE distribution.
For 12.3 and especially 13.1 the free radeon often offer a better experience than the old fglrx-legacy, especially for HD2xxx-HD4xxx range.

Proprietary AMD/ATI Catalyst fglrx rpms released
Patience is a virtue, especially with AMD gpu drivers, but today is the FGLRX day!
Yesterday Sebastian Siebert has published new versions for almost everything (except legacy dead horse).
So after 3 versions of the driver, compiled for 6 versions of openSUSE, under 2 arch, the rpms have been published today
Question : how many compilation does that mean? 🙂
Résumé
# # AMD fglrx standard (HD5xxx+ radeon gpu) 13.251-4
So we got a new build of the 13.12 standard version, including support for newer 3.14x kernel.Available for openSUSE 11.4 to 13.1 plus Tumbleweed
mirror link
Informations & bugreport Sebastian’s blog
# # AMD fglrx standard BETA 14.3V1.0 (HD5xxx+ radeon gpu)
Sebastian refresh the script to build the last beta offered by AMD
If you feel brave enough to work them, the rpm are located at the repository address
beta mirror link
Informations & bugreport Sebastian’s blog
# # NEW AMD fglrx unified for FirePro & FireMV gpu 13.251-1
Sebastian now offer also the support for the unified driver for FirePro & FireMV gpu.
The driver is also called fglrx, and you should not mix the different repository. So take care of that.
We create a new repository you could use.

Release note about 13.12
This Catalyst fglrx version support openSUSE version from 11.4 to 13.1 and also Tumbleweed (thus also kernel 3.12/13 series).
A special thanks to Sebastian Siebert for his effort on making this driver working under openSUSE.

Notice for users of the -beta repository
If you previously used the fglrx drivers using the -beta created for fglrx 13.11, you could not switch back the url of the repository to the standard one.
The beta will contain now outdated driver until AMD release a new one.
If you were using the normal repository the update should appear directly
To change the url if your repository is called FGLRX
zypper mr -n FLGRX http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx/openSUSE_13.1
Tumbleweed
For tumbleweed due to the change of openSUSE version from 12.3 to 13.1, you will certainly have remove the old package and install the new one.

Yippee Yeah Another Proprietary AMD/ATI Catalyst fglrx 13.11 BETA v9.4 (13.25.18-2) rpm are released for any openSUSE version
Welcome in paradise II … 🙂
A fresh new version of the FGLRX driver has been released by AMD, and thus packaged and available for all of you.
Next month, AMD promise to release a stable version.
Notice
This release concern only owners of radeon HD5xxx or above. All owner of HD2xx and HD4xx are really encouraged to use the free radeon driver (which received a lot of improvement in 3.11)
There’s 13 and thirteen 🙂 When I speak about 13.1 it’s openSUSE version, 13.11 is FGLRX version, don’t get confused! Oh and 3.11 is the kernel version 🙂
This is experimental & BETA software, it could fix issues you encountered (FGLRX not working for openSUSE 13.1),
But good reports have been collected around (people having used Sebastian’s script directly)
I would like to thanks again Sebastian Siebert for his effort to kept FGLRX in a good shape for all of us.
Beta Repository
To make things clear about the status of the drivers, it will not be published under the normal stable repository http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx.
I’ve created some times ago a beta repository located at http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx-beta.
The FGLRX 13.11 beta6 and beta 9.4 rpm are released for any openSUSE version from 11.4(Evergreen) to latest 13.1 + Tumbleweed
Also the signer of package have change and use now the generic builder gpg key at Ioda-Net. (gpg key id 65BE584C)
Installing the new repository
Admitting you’ve the normal repository named FGLRX, (use zypper lr -d to find the number or name you give it). You have to start by disabling it
so you could fallback to it quickly when new stable version will be published. Open a root console or add sudo at your convenience and issue the following command:
zypper mr -dR FGLRX
amd-fglrx-beta
To add another repository in the same console as root issue the following command which will install normally the right repository for your distribution
zypper ar -n FGLRX-BETA -cgf http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx-beta/openSUSE_`lsb-release -r | awk '{print $2}'` FGLRX-BETA
If you are using Tumbleweed use this one
zypper ar -n FGLRX-BETA -cgf http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/amd-fglrx-beta/openSUSE_Tumbleweed FGLRX-BETA
Now the update/upgrade process
zypper dup -r FGLRX-BETA
Let the system upgrade the package, and try to enjoy the new beta.

Can I ask you to help to spread the message to the world, so anyone who has an interest in having FGLRX could find the information. I will update the wiki to point here. But mailing lists, social media, forums are up to you!
