           Summary: sax2 selects unusable driver for ATI "Radeon XPRESS 200
                    5A61 (PCIE)"
           Product: openSUSE 10.3
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Blocker
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: SaX2
        AssignedTo: ms@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: fmfischer@xxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx
          Found By: Beta-Customer


During installation and also later on, sax2 selects the "radeon" driver for my
built-in ATI gfxcard. This driver produces nothing but a black screen (know bug
since 10.1). One has to edit either xorg.conf manually to change the driver to
"radeonold" or run "sax2 -r -m 0=radeonold" to get X11 working.

Here is what "hwinfo" sees during installation:

  Driver Info #0:
    XFree86 v4 Server Module: radeon
  Driver Info #1:
    XFree86 v4 Server Module: fglrx
    3D Support: yes
    Extensions: dri
  Config Status: cfg=new, avail=yes, need=no, active=unknown
  Attached to: #12 (PCI bridge)

Primary display adapter: #24

During Beta test I've used two different machines without such gfx hardware so
I could not report the bug earlier.

Anyway: there is no way one could install openSUSE 10.3 successfully on a
desktop PC with this bug and there is no way to find a workaround without
having the openSUSE 10.3 desktop running - therefore "Blocker"
