Hello all.
After searching the forums couldnt find a solution to my problem so decided to make a post to ask for your help.
I installed 11.3 open SuSE x86_64, with the build in drivers I could apply resolution 1680x1050 @ 60.
When I am installing the proprietary Catalyst 10.12 maximum resolution is set to 1600x1200.
I have tried the workarounds found in the forum with no joy.
It is my belief that the problem resides on the incapability of the system to read or even retrieve the EDID information form the monitor.
I am using:
AMD Athlon 7550 Dual-Core
ATI Radeon HD 3850
xorg.conf file:

Before installing Catalyst drivers the monitor was detected as Samsung 21". After installing the drivers the monitor is detected as unknown.
I used the script ati upgrade to install the drivers.
Also dont know if its any use but when running Computer>YaST>Hardware Information, I get accurate information about the monitor including all the supported resolutions. However when I save to file this is what I get:
62: None 00.0: 10000 Monitor

I have tried to edit the xorg.conf file but nothing changed. I might not doing it right however so any suggestion would be welcomed.
If there is any need for more input I would be glad to provide it.
Thanks for your time and help in advance.
