OK, so if I see this correctly you did :
1) install suse and configure XFree 3.3.6
2) installed XF4.X 
3) tried Sax2 to configure ?

It looks like there's something with your particular hardware that makes
Sax2 fall over.

True

I usually drink coffee during the process, but I cannot see that make any
difference.

Doean't Sax2 log it's actions somewhere (/var/log/Sax2.log ?)

Can you send a copy of the XF86Config you have ?
What kind of videoboard are you using ?
Which XF4.X are you running ?
Stock Suse 7.X (4.0.3 on 7.2)
