Wrong machine ;-)
Could be. I'm running M8 + Factory, but what I have forgotten is that I use xorg.conf while by default M8 doesn't. Try to run 'sax2 -m 0:radeon' and see if that solves problem.
Nope seems it runs deeper than that after shutting the machine down over night it now will not boot init 5 only init 3 i can then SOMETIMES get X top run and KDE up but sure as i try to do anything it just bombs out to the login .
will have to try doing another zypper dup in a couple of days see if anything has been CORRECTED ! as it is plainly a failure to test something to a reasonable standard before it is pushed out . 11.0 still works ok so it is not an hardware problem . this is not some strange unusual machine it is a very common Compaq Presario V5030 sold by the truck load

Pete,
Best you are going to do for your card is to go grab the latest radeonhd code from the git repository (and drm) and build drm and the radeonhd driver and install it. Simple enough. Just follow the directions at:
http://wiki.x.org/wiki/radeonhd
Much better performance than the standard radeon or ati driver but still 600% poorer performance than the fglrx driver. Also heating is a problem with all drivers except the fglrx driver because the opensource drivers lack the proprietary downclocking and gpu powerdown of the fglrx driver. You will notice the difference on your palmrest...
Hi All well been away for a few days (no computers no phones no noise no hassles ) I have updated the lappy to to the RC1 still strange when booting if i boot to init 3 log in as root then run init 5 i can log into KDE ass user no problem and i seems to behave ok no konki crash and the video driver (radeon) as supplied does not seem to be tooo bad ! bit snails pace but works . However if i try to boot straight into graphics mode it freezes just after HAL and will not respond to anything but a hard reset , Cant find anything in the logs of use at all so ideas as to just how to go about trying to find out what is going on please ..
