It appears that fglrx legacy driver (x1400 R5XX) doesnt support recent kernels, like which has been included in the latest openSuse release.
So I have no choice but to use an open source driver.
Right now im using radeonhd, since thats what is installed by default. 2D and composite effects have worked fine. Any apps that use opengl although lock up machine within a minute or 2. Sound will continue to play, so it seems something in the system is running. But all keyboard commands are not responsive, i.e ctrl alt del, ctrl alt F1.
It looks like the older 'radeon' driver might support my chip, so i may give that a try. Can anyone confirm?
