=============
The ATI Radeon module is included with SuSE's kernels, so unless you
have an unusual problem, the ATI card should install and setup just
fine with nothing more than sax2. There is no need to install the ATI
drivers from their site as it will very seldom give you much more. So
in that respect, yes, the ATI cards are somewhat easier to use and all
of them up to the 9800 are supported with the module included with the
SuSE kernel.
