Hello, it took me awhile to find out where to go for help with ATI drivers. I'm coming from a long line of NVIDIA. So I just acquired a new laptop for school. It's an ASUS X550E with a AMD Radeon HD 8330 graphics card in it. I could not get X on Ubuntu, Fedora, or Mint to function, even with fglrx (Spelling?). Now, I am using OpenSUSE 13.1 and it worked fine for a bit but then I had the following issues: First, the screen would blank as if the machine was suspending the screen and then the display would turn off for 1 second and then I could see what I was working on/at again. Then, the whole display would lock up and I could not even get to an emergency terminal. Right now, I'm using the non-free driver fglrx and it's working fine but I'm only using this temporarily until the issues are resolved. I ultimately want to use the FOSS driver and not proprietary drivers.
Please attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file and the output of dmesg from running the open source drivers.
Created attachment 92466 [details] Log of dmesg Also, I forgot to mention that this laptop has a touch screen.
I don't seem to have the Xorg log file you requested. Is there another directory it might be in?

The number might be different though, and there might be a suffix such as .old. Which desktop environment are you using? You might want to try the latest upstream releases of the kernel, LLVM, Mesa and xf86-video-ati.
