How to install Radeon 5400 support on Dell Inspiron 1764?

Hello,

at

https://forums.opensuse.org/english/...ml#post2509330

I have posted the boot-problem I currently have. Since I think it is the defect graphics-card driver,
I thought I post here a question how to (finally) install proper Radeon 5400 support (I guess if I
manage that, then the boot-failure should go away).

Until now I survived with the driver

xorg-x11-driver-video-radeonhd - Driver for AMD GPG (ATI) r5xx/r6xx Chipsets

which partially worked, but there were permanent crashes, and also glxgears runs very slowly.

I never managed to install the driver

amd-driver-installer-12-4-x86.x86_64.run

Installation always yields

> cat /usr/share/ati/fglrx-install.log
Uninstalling any previously installed drivers.
Unloading radeon module...
ERROR: Module radeon is in use
Unloading drm module...
ERROR: Module drm is in use by radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Error] Kernel Module : Kernel module build environment not found - please consult readme.
[Reboot] Kernel Module : mkinitrd

I'm not aware of the "README".

Why does the re-installed xorg-driver not work anymore? Any clue what to do?
Or could I get the ati-driver finally to work?

Best

Oliver
