can't get native resolution / all day trying, 11.1

Hi, everybody, thx for taking the time to help.

I downloaded 11.1 and started a clean installation. Not the first time i have this problem with Opensuse. I previously have tried Mandriva, Ubuntu, etc.

My monitor is an AOC 511Swb, 1280x800, 15.4, lcd,
Mobo Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H, 780G amd/ati chipset, hd3200 integrated.
Opensuse 11.1 x86, tried kdeand gnome, gnome and right now just xfce

Sax2 detects the name, but not the size neither freq. OK, i have corrected that and also i have tried selecting ‘LCD’ (generic), with the correct resolution, frequency and size (even the xymm).

However, i can set the monitor to 1024x768 and works, 1280x720 and works, but not at 1280x800. I just ‘input not supported’

I tought first it was the video driver, but it’s not, because i installed the latest (8.12), and just get a black screen with some collors on the top (but doesnt react to mouse movement). I have already tried ATI ? - openSUSE Forums, but i still get the error message. Unfortunately, i didnt write the exact message (3 installations, after each fglrx installation to make sure its not my mess, and yeah, a lot of free time today). But i know it’s not the driver, because hdradeon works fine in mdv2008.1 and 2009 free and the free driver is supposed to work with hd3200. Also, in ubuntu and mdv, fglrx works fine,

BTW, I only get display in failsafe.

1280x800@60, 15,4 16/10, 332x207 (mm), h30-60 v(50 and 55 already tried)-60, (doublechecked the specs sheet), and after testing, input not supported.
It says error testing. it refers me to /var/log/Xorg.99.log it says the next report was created sax library gotten, x configuration no info.
xorg.99 is log, i think this is the important (not sure)

If i can provide more info, just ask

Please help, i really wat to give suse a chance.

It is usually a few days after a new openSUSE version before we see the new ATI video drivers. I normally will only use nVidia, but I got a great deal on this laptop and it has an ATI 3100. I am sticking with what I have till the new driver hits the repository. I have compiled my own before, but I don’t just recommend that to everyone, unless they really feel they want to do it. The ATI site has step by step instructions, but if you can live with what you have till they post the new driver in the repo, that is the easy way.

I forgot to mention this: i have also an LG 192ws 1440x900 and with the same installation, i can configure it in failsafe mode, and the resolution is displayed properly when rebooting (it didnt work just logging out). That said, i think the problem is in the xorg.conf file.
