Hello everyone. As the title says, I can't get the proprietary ATI drivers to work on a fresh install of openSUSE 13.2.
My computer is a DELL Latitude E6540 notebook with a Radeon HD 8790M. When I install the drivers using the "glrx64_xpic_SUSE132" package in yast, the drivers don't work. This seems to lead to strange behaviour like the yast GUI not starting. If I try running "aticonfig -initial", then this creats an xorg.conf file with which X cannot start (by default there does not seem to be an xorg.conf).
I've tried installing an older version of the "glrx64_xpic_SUSE132" package as well as building the rpm myself as outline at the bottom of:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:AMD_fglrx
Nothing has worked so far.
I'd be grateful for any advice. Here are my hardware details as output by lspci and the likes.

Edit: I would like to add dmesg and the xorg log here but they are too long. Is there a way for me to attach them as text files?
