First boot your suse with safe graphics mode to be able to see your whole screen

,
Then install your ATI driver from here.

it didn't work.it works only when i open the configure desktop and ONLY click on display it goes fine without doing anything more.and a strange thing is it works very fine even after install the driver when i enter in failsafe mode.

We can try something else , being in the failsafe mode login as root
Start yast and than hardware>graphic card and monitor
Write down the settings
It will probe youŕe graphic card and monitor again,
If you get a good picture and the settings are OK save it
log out as root
log in as a user and tan startx
If it goes wrong use the original settings
