It's /etc/X11/XF86Config.
You might be able to delete(or rename it to .bak) and
try sax2 again.
If that dosn't work, maybe try using the command line setup
utilities, xf86cfg and xf86config.
I know it's one of the weaknesses with SuSE's X setup
with sax2, if it gets setup wrong during install, you just
run into this "blank screen roadblock".
Maybe you have an old XF86Config from an earlier install?
I always keep my old XF86Config files, because of situations
like yours.
