ATI HD Driver problems

English Hardware
1

I know everyone favorite subject again… I have a computer with a
Radeon HD 3200 graphics card and I am trying to use the ATI drivers
for the HD cards because according to the wiki it is for HD 2000+
cards. After installing via the RPM and using aticonfig/sax2 to
configure the card I have no X.org after boot/init 5 and in xorg.0.log
I get the following output regarding the driver

I have followed the troubleshooting guide in the wiki and still no go.

I have the same card (HD3200) and has no problem getting fglrx in 11.2.

Did you try adding the repo
http://www2.ati.com/suse/11.2/
and install the package x11-video-fglrxG02 (the package manager will select it automatically for you).

I did not run SaX2 or aticonfig because the X server in 11.2 doesn’t comes with xorg.conf anyway.

I do have the repo added and both packages installed, by default it
wanted to use a 16 color depth for my TV, but I changed that to 24 and
now stuck with this.

I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before but maybe the driver is
working but outputting at 1080P to my TV which only supports 720P. So
maybe if I can find out what screen resolution 720P is and manually
set my Xorg.conf to that it may work. I’ll post back my findings of
this test, it maybe useful if nothing else.

If anyone can think of anything else to try let me know please and I
will do it.

Ok so I dropped the fglrx driver for now and went with the radeonhd
driver for now and I get a GUI, the only problem is sax2 is giving a
screen resolution that is bigger than my screen. So without using the
YaST module, which is gone in 11.2, what is the preferred way to fix what
SaX2 messed up?

Ok so maybe if I explain my setup more:

Ok so I have a computer hooked up to a TV using the HDMI port on the computer. There is no monitor connected to the VGA or DVI port on the graphics card, just using the TV (makes sense for a media PC no?). Anyways I have ran SaX2 numerous times and the resolution is still wrong, no matter if I have it set to 800x600 (instanely small) or 1280x720 (720p the highest my TV supports) the desktop is always to big and most of it is off screen. I don’t know if it is just the fact that SaX2 is not intended to work with HDMI ports or what but I need away to adjust the resolution for the HDMI.

I am currently using the radeonhd drivers because the fglrx drivers just give me a black screen no matter what I try, I can provid a copy of my xorg.conf file in anyone thinks they need to see that, I hope someone here can help me solve this issue (with ether driver doesn’t matter to me as long as it works)
