radeonhd is a separate driver.  It's not applicable to your chip.  I'm not sure
how suse packages the radeon (xf86-video-ati) driver.  It may be part of a
larger xorg driver package.

All you need to do is recompile the ddx driver.  The upstream source is here:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati/
and building info is here:
