Thanks, I haven't seem them before. Especially the information that
ATI's driver doesn't survive a kernel update and needs to be
reinstalled is very helpful.
I have an eMachine Intel dual core with ATI graphics card, Xpress
something. Anyway, the darned thing would never work with 10.0 or 10.1
but 10.2 has always installed and worked perfectly [ and this makes
about my fourth install on this machine for various reasons - Mostly
ID-10-T errors ]. I even updated the kernel a couple times to the
2.6.20* [ when I could find it on the factory site] from the 2.6.18*
kernel. The ATI drivers worked just fine through the upgrade.
Interesting. How did you install ATI's driver?
With YAST, using the repository that ATI provides (as per instructions
at http://www.suse.de/~sndirsch/ati-installer-HOWTO.html), or by
downloading and calling ati-driver-install (as per instructions on the
OpenSUSE Wiki and the CoolSolutions article, referenced above)?

I didn't have to. The ATI drivers were automatically installed during
the hardware setup process of the install.
Are you sure that you use ATI's proprietary fglrx graphics driver?
It's not part of SUSE 10.2, AFAICS. (The specific graphics card
that I'm looking for, FireGL V52xx, is not supported by the R300
(Radeon) Open Source driver; at least that's what all information
pages tell me.)
