Does anyone else has experience (good or bad) of using the ATI Radeon X1300 Pro 256MB (RV516, chipset ID 7183, as shipped with my E521) with recent Xorg and the proprietary ATI drivers on any Linux distro? I've tried:

Distro: openSUSE 10.2 x86 with all updates
Kernel: 2.6.18.2 (as shipped by SuSE)
Xorg: 7.2.RC2 (as shipped by SuSE)
ATI fglrx driver: 8.32.5 or 8.33.6

I'm reproducibly suffering from screen locks as soon as I start X. Here's an ATI Bugzilla entry with some more details:

I'd love to hear how it works for others.
