There is a file in /etc/X11 called XF86Config, which sets up the monitor frequencies. This is a text field that can be be modified from a console with a text editor. You should look in the section 'modes' Each line begins with the word "Modeline". The second item defines the resolution ( 1024x 768 say ). The third item states the dot frequency for the mode. Several frequencies are given for each mode, and X chooses the highest one available. Just comment out with a # the line with the highest dot frequency for the resolution in question. Also print out 'man -t xf86config | lpr' and keep it for reference. You can do a lot more with XF86 configuration than Yast will allow.

I finished the entire YAST installation, including patches to the current packages.
Yay!
I did my reboot and when it came up, the monitor I had barfed with an Over Freq signal on the monitor and shut down.
I put on another monitor and it worked OK, I logged into KDE.
But...
If I don't have an extra monitor available, how do I reconfigure X to a lower Freq Range since I can't run the GUI?
I'm more than a little green on how Suse does this configuration management stuff. I've always used systems that are CLI configuration only.
Can I launch something from CLI that is at least "safe" without too much trouble?
