Boot to run level 3
login as root and run /usr/bin/aticonfig --initial.
Next configure sax by typing: sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx
(The 0 is number zero not a letter)
Once you have monitor configured, exit sax and type startx to get the xServer running.
If everything is fine, reboot and login as usual.
If you are still having problems, use yast in level 3 to remove the ati repo driver and download and install the ati driver from their site.
Do the automated install in run level 3. Make sure you have first downloaded the latest kernel development for your kernel (also from yast.)

Thanks much for the tip, but this doesn't work. I tried to reinstall the driver using yast2 (in addition I installed all the packages from the list of the kernel development menu).
The "sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx" gives again a screen composed of 4 quadrants - a sort of blured pink & black picture in each quadrant. No progress. Thus, I had to shut it with ctrl-alt-del. Surprisingly, the yast2-mediated deinstallation of the fglrx drivers removed some configuration files (an authority issue) of the xorg server, thus, I had to reinstall it...
What can I say. These drivers are not compatible with the card I have (Asus HD4670).
If somebody would like to buy my graphic card (it is brand new), I can sell this **** for 40-50 euros (the origonal price 67 euros in France)...
