Whatever is in openSUSE 11.4 - there's an RPM named
xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd-1.3.0_20100512_80ba041-2.1.x86_64.rpm,
but I'm not certain that's the one used. I didn't ask the reporter much,
since the symptom was quite obvious.

As to the card, this is what the native kernel spit out on his system:

It doesn't really tell me what card is being used.
