As a newby i tried the 1-Click install for ATI Cards from the Suse-ATI Page, but after running "SaX2 -r" or "SaX2 -r -m 0=fglrx" my system crashes down when "startx" is called automatically. It results in a black screen and the whole computer doesn't response anymore. The same happend with 8.41, 8.47 and 8.49 Version.
I also tried the new radeonhd opensource driver with the same results - a full system crash.
Did you verify that the fglrx kernel module isn't loaded? This is a
typical source of system crashes.
Make sure that 'rpm -qa | grep fglrx' doesn't show anything, and
uninstall if it is. Unfortunately, the kernel module is probably still
loaded, and unloading isn't exactly enough, you probably have to reboot
after removing the rpms.
