Having installed Suse 11.4 on my new laptop, X does not start...
During boot, do you ever see anything on screen? When X hasn't started, is there anything on screen? If so, what mode does it seem to be in, big like in DOS, or smaller?
There should be no need to manually set up a configuration file for X on 99.99999999% of the openSUSE installs you do. If it's not working on install, something went wrong during the install, you've got some odd hardware...
Keywords: "new laptop" You may have typed a 9 or three too many. The "odd hardware" in this case may be a video chip that is too new to have driver support other than VESA or FBDEV, either of which might be broken for that hardware as well. VESA has no 16:9 modes AFAIK, and most new laptops now are 16:9. The way hardware keeps getting cheaper, the BIOS might not even have any VESA support. He may possibly need a newer kernel and/or driver than provided by 11.4. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
