Now run sax2 to set up the card.
I have also found that setting the vga= line in the bootup to vga=0x31a gives a 1280x1024 boot up and makes it easier to sync the monitor.

I tried the both. No success.
I recompiled kernel without KVM. Doesn't help. "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx" locks up the machine completely in all cases.
Then I uninstalled native ATI driver & Catalyst and reinstalled the Suse Community driver. "aticonfig --initial" and "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx"It gives a bit better result - it does not lock up the machine (vide supra) but renders a screen where I can see like four quadrants each one containing one and the same blured image, and the loading of the xserver is continuing, cause I get the diagnostic sound.

And the fglrx daemon is not loaded (lsmod | grep fglrx renders nothing).
Unfortunately, I'm not able to turn SaX2 back to using VESA driver. Sax2 doesnt boot, for instance, SaX2 -a and then SaX2 doesnt help.
Only the uninstalling of the driver enables running X with VESA...
I do not understand what's going on. ATI must pay me for my wasted time and all these troubles. More, they have to highlight everywhere that their graphic cards are NOT suitable for Linux (in most cases: see, how many complaints are on the forum).
Merde.
