I was just looking at Xorg -configure. I might need to generate a xorg.conf and edit it perhaps.
That anachronism will make an obfuscatory mess of little use. Use this as a skeleton to build on instead:

/etc/X11/xorg.conf will take precendence over
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-screen.conf
When I'm using /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/* instead of/etc/X11/xorg.conf, I use these as my synchronized baseline:
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/50-device.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/50-monitor.conf http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/50-screen.conf
FWIW, all the above work using all the following (among others):
Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04) Optiplex 280 Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Optiplex 620 Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) Optiplex 745 Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 10) Biostar G31-M7 TE Intel Corporation 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) Optiplex 760/780 & Biostar T41 HD Ver. 6.x -- This looks very useful. As I have had about 4 hours sleep I think I'm going to try to revisit this tomorrow.
As an interim measure I swapped drives out of the former system I was running. It has a Nvidia Card and an actual xorg.conf and it's again running Tumbleweed. The Windows 7 drive is back in a drawer.This system is on the same KVM. Never has failed to be there except for once after an Tumbleweed update. Some attention to Xorg.conf fixed that. I can use that system until I get the pure Intel HP system to behave. I can't spring for a Nvidia Card right now. I need it to play with the onboard graphics. I'll probe it and see what actual chipset it's running and try a xorg.conf from your skeleton. Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.
