I get the same result when I try to run sax2 directly. Once sax2 launches, the screen goes blank with the out of sync message.
Since I can get to a command line, and I (think I) can use vim, what is the X config file I need to edit manually?
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. -- use Perl; #powerful programmable prestidigitation
