GRUB and broken drivers

Thanks to the automatic update I messed up my freshly installed openSuSE 11.1. i.e. when starting Xorg I got a black screen, also the consoles were no longer reachable because they stayed black as well. In case this happens to you (or you find another driver module troublesome) try to add
brokenmodule=fglrx

(or whatever you suspect to be the problem) in the GRUB command line. After doing so, I could boot into a visible console (YEAH!) and start a console yast in order to delete the magic fglrx driver...
