So, my next question is: Could I obtain the proper mode lines by removing the card and using sax2 to generate a new xorg.conf file, since sax2 did this properly before I added the new card?
You can do that, but it is a question would be that configuration valid for new card. Though, attempt can't hurt. The worst that can happen is to run sax2 one more time.
But, first try to configure proper monitor size for your monitor if YaST doesn't work (and here it doesn't as sax2 reads current configuration) than Ctrl-Alt-F1, login as root, run init 3 to switch to runlevel without Xorg running. Run sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia The '-r' should tell sax2 to forget database and start from scratch.
OK, tried that, but the change was ignored. The only difference I see in the new xorg.conf is that there are no mode lines in the modes section. Ben Kevan asked about nvidia-settings, but that offers no options to auto-detection.
Now when it gives proposal click on Change and you will have the same screen as with YaST > Hardware > Graphic Card and Monitor and you should be able to change monitor size in tab Display Size to 19". Now your monitor size is set to 15" and nvidia driver set 800x600 resolution as native for that size of the monitor. I obtained the mode lines from the set-up under the integrated graphics, but the numbers are so different I don't hold much hope of being able to use them. I will probably just use 800x600 until I am ready for a newer monitor.
