I got to go tough installation routine again.
It is Radeon Xpress 200 graphic adapter that is making trouble.
The open source radeon driver is OK for almost anything, specially after removing strange sized "Virtual 3840x1200" when frame rates jumped to values comparable to proprietary fglrx, but the "Almost" is a keyword here.
Despite glxgears giving nice number of the frames per second, Google Earth was like molasses, and fan would start turning in high speed almost from start, YouTube videos refused to take full screen, with Flash actually going on strike.
So, to cover those cases I attempted to install fglrx again.
First attempt was to compile driver, but that didn't work well. The ati installer didn't do the job well.
Using /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh I removed remnants of "Hard Way" installation and used procedure described in http://en.opensuse.org/ATI_Radeon_Xpress
When all was done, Google Earth was running as it should, YouTube didn't complain to run in full screen mode.
