Thanx for the incredibly fast response!
I did the following after checking your links:
1. Went to
http://www.ati.com and downloaded their fglrx6.8.0 driver for XOrg 6.8 (after running their "check.sh" script to determine that was the appropriate version).
2. Installed ATI's RPM with Yast2
3. Tried doing a test with Sax2 => NO-GO
4. Rebooted => STILL NO-GO
I'll definitely keep you posted what happens. And thank you again!
