XWindows Fails to load after driver installation

Ok I will admit I am pretty new to this whole thing, but I'm on the edge of pulling out my hair. I read the following line in the fixed column and I don't know if this is the problem or not, but it's so far the closest thing I can figure.

"X Server no longer fails to load when using an ATI Radeon® X1x00, 512MB product with certain motherboards. Further details can be found in topic number 737-22056"

Since there is no more topic 737-22056 (at least that you can search for at support.ati.com) I can't tell. But here is the issue. I'm running a Pent4 3ghz processor on a Foxxconn 915 series Mainboard, and a Asus EAX1600PRO PCIE 16 w/ 512 mb of vidram. System ram is at 2GB and I'm running the 64bit SuSE 10.1 distro. When I install the drivers (tried multiple methods from multiple walkthroughs incl ATI's directions) The result is always the same. On reboot xWindows will not load. It gives me a huge log file and I can't make ends meet out of it other than the ChipID IS correct (read about that problem w/ asus too). I am lost, if anyone can help or point me to a post (in my search of the forums this is the closest I've found), or website it would save me from premature baldness :-P
