This is patently false. I've used SuSE on two different widescreen laptops. I'm typing this from a Dell XPS at 1920x1200. It has nothing to do with the graphics driver, you just need to select the proper screen in Sax2 or xorg.conf.
If you don't have a proper driver available, then you're usually stuch with VESA modes, and they don't have VESA modes for all resolutions. I don't have a list in front of me, but I would be surprised if there was one for widescreen
As I recall, I selected the generic "LCD 1920x1200" or some such.

Traditionally yes, but recent news makes me wonder if that is about to change. AMD buying ATI might have a positive effect
We'll see. It's very much up in the air which way AMD will go.
