It's not new to the Linux world... new to openSUSE though.  Ubuntu has
been doing this for at least one prior release...

Magic happens at boot, and somehow it all seems to work :-P  I'm happy
it works, but... I'd like to know more about how this magic works for
when it goes wrong - that said, it hasn't gone wrong yet... auto
detects odd resolutions correctly etc as well. (eg 1024x600 resolution
on my netbook is set correctly on first boot).
