[opensuse] Problems with ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro

Guys,

Quick question. A friend sold me an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro, and I
install into my box, I am currently running openSUSE 11.1 with the
following kernel.

Linux magi 2.6.27.23-0.1-default #1 SMP 2009-05-26 17:02:05 -0400
x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have install the rpm from ATI repro

x11-video-fglrxG01-8.582-2.1
ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default-8.582_2.6.27.19_3.2-2.1

But when I got to set it up

SaX2 -r -m 0=fglrx

My screen turns blank and nothing happens. I can't ctrl-atl to any of
the consoles. The only thing I can do is ssh into the box and reboot.

Now I do have X11, but I it not the correct settings. I have done my
research and I know it works because I found this on the openSUSE wiki

Radeon HD 2400 Pro

Autodetected Image:22px-Tick.png - 3D Support Image:22px-Tick.png
OpenSuSE 11RC2 Kernel source and driver available in ATI Repository
14/06/2008 ati-fglrxG01-kmp-default & x11-video-fglrxG01
Normal installation procedure and all tickerty boo! ( Holywood Got Nothing )

My first question is this, how can I know what version of 11.1 I am
on, I think my is the finial one. Two, what can I do to get it work.

Thanks guys for any help.
