When You switch from the fglrx driver to the Radeon driver, first of all, You must uninstall the propietary driver it by the script /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh
Some of next changes may have been made by the uninstall script /usr/share/ati/amd-uninstall.sh
You must to verify if they are done.:
Then, in Yast -> /etc/sysconfig editor _> System -> Kernel set "NO_KMS_IN_INITRD" to "no"
Then, in Yast -> /etc/sysconfig editor _>System -> Bootloader, remove "nomodeset" from the sections "DEFAULT_APPEND" and "XEN_KERNEL_APPEND"
I'm not sure these lines matter: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=776221
Then in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf remove # from the line:
#Driver "radeon" it must be: Driver "radeon"
If there are no other gfxchips in the system, this doesn't matter, at least, not with any Radeon gfxchip I've ever used.
Then, remove the files:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-fglrx.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/fglrx.conf
When all the changes are made, execute "mkinitrd", to recreate the initrd with the Radeon driver.
I'm sure glad I can make do with radeon in all cases. AMD's uninstall script doesn't do all that itself? I would think such things are an important reason for its existence. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
