Thank you for quick answer. But could you be more specific.

I have installed ATI driver from yast repository www2.ati.com/suse/10.2/.
ATI "fglrx" driver kernel module version is 8.33.6_2.6.18.2_34.1-1.1 .
xorg-x11 version is 7.2-146.1 . Is my driver latest or not? Where I can find
"git head" driver or latest release candidate?


Just set monitorlayout to "LVDS, TMDS"


Where I have to put that line?
