I Googled for an answer myself, and found *an* answer (Option "NoRandr",
which I seem to have correctly guessed works in Section "Device" for 11.1) in
a discussion of the proprietary ATI driver. I didn't report back because I
was hoping for this thread to include in the mailing list archives a response
from someone who knows a pointer that doesn't require Googling, hopefully an
exhaustive list of most or all possible xorg.conf options omitted from its
man page, located somewhere in /usr.
The 2nd hit on your Google results page offers in the context of proprietary
NVidia drivers the following:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "RandR" "false"
EndSection
That isn't intuitively helpful for non-proprietary driver nv, mga or intel
users. The only hit on an opensuse.org URL among the first 30 is not on point.
None of the info I've found anywhere so far tells anything about whether
disabling is required in other than xorg.conf for :0, and none addresses
disabling for non-proprietary drivers. If I could get better help locating
definitive docs, then I could include a new section on the issue on
http://en.opensuse.org/Users_FAQ#Graphics_Card_Drivers to make it easier for
the next upgrader who's lost his virtual. :-)

I'd expect that this problem will go away if you simply completely
disable the randr extension in xorg.conf .
I looked for howto do this in man pages, couldn't find in xorg.conf or
xrandr pages, and could find no randr page. How does one disable randr in
xorg.conf?

Second hit, for example.
