OK, you are most correct, the driver was radeon. I changed it to vesa, then rebooted, but no change in behavior, not GUI at all. I only get to command line.
FWIW, I also have a 9200 (SE) using the radeon driver. Selecting 3D did not work originally (monitor could not sync). I noticed in the log agpgart was trying to work in 8x. In 10.2 it worked in 4x, so I set up 3D and added "AGPMode" "4" via sax2, and mine worked again immediately. There may be a problem with the driver. When i used fglrx, it did work in 8x. Anyway, try adding the agp limitation and retry.
Hi Joe, I noticed your post in the other thread about agp in 4x mode, and did try that. It did not work in my case. But, I had already switched video cards out. At present I'm running (or trying to run) the ATI 9800 Pro. (I could not get this card to run at all in 10.2, but thought that might be fixed in 10.3). I'll go back to the 9200 and try your suggestion on that card. (The default 10.3 install did not work with the 9200, which is why I tried switching cards).
FYI I also tried the fglrx driver on the 9800 pro last night and I could not even see the command line with that driver. Fortunately uninstalling the fglrx drivers from yast did get me back to at least seeing the command line. Switching driver from radeon to vesa makes no difference, command line but no kde.
Thanks for the suggestion, will try the 9200 again later today.

=========== Have you guys tried the "ati" driver instead of the "radeon"? I know both seem to work for me, but the differences were usually the cards they worked with, which may be the case with you. Either run sax2 with ati sax2 -m 0=ati or just change the driver in xorg.conf to test it.
