OTHER SYMPTOMS:
Changes to Monitor Resolution did not take effect.
VMWare warned that extmod (XFree86 DGA) was not enabled (it was in
/etc/X11/XF86Config).
DPMS was not working, even though / etc/X11/XF86Config had the options set for
DPMS, BlankTime, StandbyTime and SuspendTime.
After much delving into this problem, I found that YaST2 and I were fiddling
with the wrong X configuration file.
Maybe 9.1 uses the xorg version of X, or I did something to invoke this, but
the config file I needed was /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
I created it in text mode with xf86cfg.
When I finished tweaking this file, EVERYTHING works like it did before upgrade
to 9.1 from 9.0.
