Ctrl-Alt-F1 and sax2 -r (almost) solved the problem. I hade to issue init 3 
first and init 5 when ready. Funny though since I did not have to change 
anything just accept the suggestion from sax2. Unlike suse 10.3 the monitor 
was even listed.

Running a built-in nvidia GeForce 6150 on the Asus M2NPV-VM nForce 430 
motherboard.

Thank's
