Did it work fine with Lenny ? Did you ever try X packages that were in
experimental during the last months?
By the way, the log says:
(II) RADEONHD(0): Unknown card detected: 0x95C4:0x1043:0x19D3.
If - and only if - your card does not work or does not work optimally
please contact radeonhd@opensuse.org to help rectify this.
Use the subject: 0x95C4:0x1043:0x19D3: <name of board>
and *please* describe the problems you are seeing
in your message.
