Well, it's been a while since I responded here, but I did make some progress, be it in a negative way...
I tried several drivers sofar, and nothing, zip, nada.
I also send an e-mail to ATI support, and they stated that my vid card is NOT supported by any of their drivers under (SuSE) Linux
Their suggestion was to use an older driver, but I didn't get a responce yet on where to find those drivers (not on their site) and if they could be more specific as to WHAT drivers they were referring too.
I'm not giving up yet, but the future does look bleek
