--- Comment #17 from Dominik Kopp <suse at kabelfunk.de> ---
It's quite hard to make it compile, if the version is older than b6d871b (I
assume the x-server 1.18 is to new for older xf86-video-ati versions.)

I've made a simple "make", "sudo make install", reboot.
But I could find a working version, yet.

Therefore I started another approach:


I reinstalled the laptop with a working openSUSE 13.2
- kernel 3.16.7
- x-server 1.16
- xf86-video-ati 7.4.0

Then I updated it *only with 7.7.0 / 1.18
- working

Then I updated it to kernel 4.7.2
- regression
(with and without the newer x-server/xf86-video-ati version)

I conclude: (at least for me)
The regression is not in the xorg, but in the kernel.
I need to bisect the kernel (somewhere between 3.16.7 and 4.7.2)

PS: An additional argument for kernel bisecting is the running fan at full
speed.
PPS: Note to myself: file /usr/share/aclocal/xorg-server.m4 is in package
util-macros-devel
