Giving him an 1 comand line automatically generated working X (like the first installation setup) is *very* helpful, especially when you are talking with somebody over the phone without any visual feedback.
As already mentioned, X should work just fine without a configuration file. So this is the command you'd want to use. And if it's not: "zypper in sax2; sax2"
So, let me see if I understand this. X will work fine without a config file. But if that's true, it has to configure itself each time the computer is started. Right? Then using sax2, you'd write a config file that it doesn't use. Or would it use one if it's there? The reason I ask, is that there are folks that use something other than the xorg furnished video drivers. Fglrx and the nvidia driver come to mind. As they aren't normally supplied with the distro, they must be added later. Then you have to tell x somehow to use that particular driver. If what you are saying is true, you'd either have to have an xorg.conf file, or reset these drivers each time you start the machine.
