Default x server won't start

Made the horrible mistake to try and install catalyst from the ati website (ati-driver-installer-9-6-x86.x86_64.run). Stupid idea. Now x-server won't start. I can get to the prompt on session 1 and runlevel 5 is reached, but only get a black screen. Is there a way to roll back to previous config? "SaX2 -r -m 0=fglrx" hangs the machine (can't go back to session 1)

preliminary info:

opensuse 11.1
ati radeon 4850

more info?

Thanks in advance for any help.
