shows the older version 8.28.8 from Aug 18, 2006 to be the last version
that supports this card. Which one should I install??
Neither one.
The new version does not support your card.
The older one does not support anything higher than xorg 7.1.
So you are kind of restricted to either use use the opensource radeon
drivers, just like I do with my Radeon 9200 :-((
Alternatively you could downgrade to a very old Linux Version with xorg
7.1, but I cannot responsibly advise you to do this.
Next time you might go for Nvidia, like I will do. :-)

Well.....that's a disappointment. It seems no matter what I do I never
have the right card for opensuse. I won't spend the money on the new hot
cards, and the ones that I think are middle of the road, well, are too
old! I suppose its not opensuse's fault that the ATI driver does not
support xorg v7.2, and I understand their move forward to new xorg. And
ATI does not want to re-write an older driver to support xorg 7.2. But
where does that leave us users?
End of rant.
Many thanks for the help.
