It gives a whole list of cards that the driver is meant for - it does
not include the X1400, but does mention about 20 others.

I downloaded a driver from ATI, after going through their website -
Choose Driver --> Mobile Driver --> X1400 --> Linux --> Download, and
then running the installer and going through the SUSE SAX2 incantation.
I was lead to believe that Ubuntu was quite capable of "sorting itself
out" after the driver was installed.

Will take a look. The irritating thing is that when it was booted from
the Live CD it was quite obviously seeing the card. After installing
from the non-live or alternate or zombie CD it doesn't seem to know
about it.
