Upgraded video to HD5450 and Linux Radeon driver -- no 3d video

I upgraded my video from the ATI radeon HD4250 with the Catalyst driver to an ATI HD5450 card on my Opensuse 12.3 box. Previously, I was using the proprietary ATI Catylst driver, but switched to the open source radeon driver because it is faster. It has full 3d support as verified from glxinfo and glxgears. I have 3d acceleration checked for my virtual machine. However, when I boot the VM, I get the message that no 3d support is available and that hardware graphics acceleration is unavailable. How can I fix this?

I have the same error message here 😞

Unfortunately at the moment installing the catalyst driver is no solution. Sebastian Siebert - who works on the installation scripts for the catalyst driver in openSuSE - stated that the legacy driver does only work with X-server up to 1.12.x and openSuSE 12.3 is using 1.13.1. So at the moment the catalyst driver will not work with an openSuSE standard installation.

Looks like we have to wait for some updates...
