Am using a Dell Studio 15(Model 1555).
Running Suse 11.1.
Have searched fro drivers on the official site as well as tried to search for the driver at HCL/ATI Video Cards - openSUSE
Couldn't get anything. Please help.

You missed the See also part, it leads to
ATI 3D on openSUSE

Actually I didn't miss that. Did everything according to what is said there. Now my system doesn't even show the login screen. Looks like I am in a bigger fix than i started off with.

Hello,

Did you resolve your probles with the HD 4570 driver? I am asking, because Last night it seemed that I had the same issue, after installing the recomended ATI driver, but the X did load.

No login screen, no command line prompt...

Thanks.

regards

No, unable to do anything about it. Could some one here suggest something, please?

Users of Ubuntu in this thread ([ubuntu_studio] Dell Studio 15 + Mobility Radeon HD 4570 - Ubuntu Forums) appear to have made this laptop play nice with Linux. I'm following both threads closely because I want to get this laptop with the same graphics configuration.

Try to start suse in safe mode, then "in my case allso x wont start, go to console login as root, then type "/usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh", then type reboot and you should have system up and running again without ati drivers

Hey guys. I've got something. Disabling framebuffer it is possible to have the X server back. I could configure the monitor and enable Xinerama, although I didn't test anything but opening a gnome session.

A little more is said the opensuse wiki.
