Suse installs this video card as vesa. Any attempt to use Sax2 eitherThis can be indeed a time consuming task. A few guidelines:
by the command line or the Yast version results in a blank screen
without any input after the sax2 command. Screen refresh is then
incredibly slow with vesa so I tried to install the ATI drivers using
the installer from their web site. This does not generate any errors
but restarting X with a cntrl-alt-backspace gets back to a blank
screen.
1. Try to investigate each line of your /var/log/Xorg log file. Look for
errors in this file and compare it with xorg.conf
2. Rename the hopefully still available OLD xorg.conf and vsplit it in vi.
ATI will have added lots of stuff (don't know what, never used ATI).
3. NEVER use sax2, it should be renamed to sucks2

I'm using this card with 10.0, but with ATI's proprietary driver. If that
driver already supports 10.1, that might be the best option.
