I have tried fglrx 9.3 earlier and something confused me.

I have followed the instruction in wiki of opensuse to install 9.3,
but found that it is point out "Do Not to Use sax2" in the manual
published from ati in 9.3 and 9.4. I scrutinized the wiki later and
found it is said this, too.

The manual from ati said only to use "aticonifg --initial", but my
xorg.conf is already exist and the word "fglrx" is already in the
configuration file.(it is generateed by sax2 in the earlier driver) It
is seemingly that aticonfig just echo "word fglrx is found" and did
nothing to my xorg.conf. The purpose of not using sax2 is to avoid it
rewriting xorg.conf in its way, but if aticonfig remains the xorg.conf
wrote by sax2 earlier, dose the trick not using sax2 still work?
In fact, I am querying if aticonfig dose really not rewrite xorg.conf
if word "fglrx" is found in xorg.conf.
And what proper route should I follow when install fglrx 9.3 from .run?

Thank you.
