Hi Dominik,
good to know, thank you.
Please can you provide the following info:
- Xorg version provided by OpenSUSE
- Kernel version provided by OpenSUSE
- Exact version of flgrx driver provided by OpenSUSE

I really cannot understand what is causing the kernel BUG with my
combination of ATI HD3650, Xorg 1.6.0, fglrx 8.612 (built from Catalyst
9.5), Kernel 2.6.28-12 (tryed also 2.6.27-11).

Cheers,
Luca
