At the Installfest I helped someone install SuSE on a machine with an ATI
Radeon All In Wonder, but I ended up configuring it manually to use the
compatible "vesa" driver.  Otherwise the machine would hang.  If that's
you, I already upgraded you to 4.1.0.

In any case, I did a search for "XFree86 upgrade" in the search box at
www.suse.com.  There was an exact match where SuSE had prepared a set of
upgrade rpms.  I downloaded all of the X 4.1.0 and related rpms from there
and used the command "rpm -vhU *.rpm" to install them as upgrades.
