Hello SuSE people.

Asked this question a little over a month ago and got no response. I 
just need to know the answer to this.

Running 9.2 with all updates. Please confirm or reject my assumptions.

9.2 uses xorg. correct?  Anything written about X should be written to 
xorg.conf correct?

Here is my point. When I installed 9.2 all of the parameters of my 
monitor were written to xorg.conf.  I changed out the monitor to a new 
tft/lcd monitor.  Sax wrote the parameters of the new monitor to 
XF86Config. (The old monitor is still present in xorg.conf)

Now, everything seems to be working correctly but has left me somewhat 
confused and bewildered.  Is my system using xorg, like it should be in 
9.2 or has it changed up and is now using XF86Config. Or, is it using 
some combination of the two. Why did Yast do this?

I'll probably buy 10.0 when it is released so it is probably a moot 
point. Still would like to understand this though.
