According to a bugzilla entry (don't ask for the number ;-) the radeon 
(open source) driver was broken (in several cases, but it works on my 
machine) and will be better in beta4.

There are also some issues with fglrx in bugzilla - but without knowing 
more details, I can't tell if your problem is a known bug. Please 
search bugzilla yourself ;-)

The next possible bug is that YaST created a non-working xorg.conf - 
please enter that in bugzilla also if nobody did before and attach your 
y2logs and /var/log/SaX.log.

Please check bugzilla if there is a similar report already.
If not, please create a bugreport and attach the y2logs to it.

radeon or fglrx driver?
Again: please check bugzilla and report your problem if nobody did it 
before. Required attachments in this case:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old

If you file bugreports ;-)

You can't leave the list... your soul is now attached to the SUSE
