My card is an HD 4670, and I clicked the HD2000 and newer link here
Installed OK, then when I came back from a reboot, lots of flickering happened and Gnome would not get to the login screen, I was stuck in a console. I rebooted again and now it just flickers a few times at the loading screen and goes blank. I don’t know how I could mess up such an easy 2 step installation
I’m on Windows XP right now
I booted into failsafe and uninstalled the drivers, but now when I boot up normally all I get is the console screen. I just want to reset everything back to what it was when I first installed OpenSUSE now, if the drivers are going to be this much of a pain to update
I’ve read of some users, who after removing the proprietary ATI driver still having to run with root permissions
mkinitrd
and then reboot.
I don’t know myself if that is the case. When I rolled back to the radeon driver on my HD3450 I did not have to do that.
I know when I rolled back to the open source drivers even when I installed with an RPM I had to Follow some steps this guy gave. Because some of the changes that took place during the install did not set back.
Uninstall-ATI
Redo the previous step depmod, ldconfig, place the NO_KMS_IN_INITRD=”no”
remove the /etc/modprobe.d/50-fglrx, redo a mkinitrd
I know with manual and my own built RPM I had to follow these steps. they are half way down that page here.
openSUSE Lizards » ATI HD57xxx fglrx drivers under 11.3
Still very green with linux so take it with a grain of salt. Just something that worked for me.

also quick question was it with a DVI connection with no adapter on it or an oversized monitor? I had the same prob but put a small 21" monitor on there with DVI conection and turned back on no prob. The way I had with an adapter I had to dual monitor and change that graphic setting for it to start displaying on the other one. Just wanted to know if this is something that is a trend?
