I did the same as you with SuSE 7. I have a working X server but it stuck in 640
x 480 x 4, which is pretty useless.
To get the window manager going (it sticks on TWM after upgrade & configure),
use "susewm" to change it to KDE, or your own preference.
Hope this helps a little.

ATI are notorious for not offering any help to the Linux X developers and I
don't think the Radeon is supported. However they do support firm developing
Pro X Servers so see their site for details (something like
http://www.ati.com (?)).
As an aside I seem to remember hearing that X86Free 4 doesn't support as
many graphics cards as Version 3???!!! I know of a few people who have had
to install the old version to get their cards to get the X server running.

1. FYI: Getting a ATI Radeon Dual Display Edition [Radeon VE, 32 DDR] to Work
I had a problem with my new ATI Radeon Dual Display edition card. The
problem was that X would start up, pretend to be working, but nothing
displaying on the monitor --- it was blank, and the monitor went into
DPMS power save mode. Unlike other people's problem when I Googled, my
machine didn't hang: Switching to another worked fine.
Solution (please don't laugh): Use the other video connector, i.e., the
one included for digital flat-panel displays. [They include an adaptor
in the box]. I didn't try this until after a couple X-window
re-installs, all versions from 3.3.6 to 4.1... Note that only 4.1
supports this card.
Anyone know how to get X to recognize both displays on the card?
