I have a HP dv5000 laptop with the ATI 200m chipset. Mine is a HP nx6125 - mostly the same internals.
I have not been able to get any driver after 8.24 to work. All I get is a black screen (DRI has loaded) and X11 has locked. I get that too - X locks and takes keyboard and mouse with it. I got around this by dropping the -r and profile options from sax2, i.e. I just did sax2 -m 0=fglrx
If you have it working I'd like to know how you got it to work. Very very carefully :-) I had two consoles open, in one I did:
sleep 2m && reboot and in the other I tried it. That gave me a clean reboot option every time X hang. Aside from that I did nothing fancy. Downloaded the driver installer, used it to build an rpm for SUSE 10.1, installed that, built the driver, rebooted into runlevel 3 (just to make sure I don't have the older fglrx.ko loaded, and ran sax2. I had to add two lines to the xorg.conf to make XV work properly, but aside from that it's standard. Attached is my xorg.conf. Be aware that my resolution is probably different - I don't have the wide screen. Hans
