Due to the state of X development, and the radically changed and changing
Intel drivers and xrandr in particular, if it was up to me the release of
10.3 would have been delayed by a whole bunch of months. Did you read the
release notes, or the many threads discussing video problems, in particular,
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2007-10/msg04251.html and related messages
leading up to it, both same and other threads? OpenSUSE 10.3 is not the only
recently released distro with Intel driver and/or X resolution trouble.

Look at the discussion of /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup in
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=331609 as possibly you may find a
solution in that method if your GMA900 isn't too new.
