We just bought a pair of eMachines/Gateways. They have ATI video cards. So far I haven't found a video setting that will allow me to use SuSE [ 10.1 ] on mine. For the time being I've pretty much given up on having I don't know about 10.1 but 10.0 gave me trouble tht made me give up too but with 10.2 the problems went away.
The setup/install screens look really good, but I don't know the settings that setup uses. Something very generic I'm sure. Anyone happen I have never understood why the install process is able to figure out a good setting but fails on the configuring later. You could try something that has worked for me in the past on an older ATI card. I used the generic framebuffer setting and either a really generic monitor or manually plugging in the real monitor values if I had them. I found the trick in my SuSE 7 book but I think it wasn't in later books. You wouldn't get the 3D capability but at least you would get the display working. I only remember that it was a parameter passed to sax when configuring. If you are interested I can look it up tonight or, if someone has a better memory than I, they could post the sax parameter for getting it to run with the framebuffer
