Okay, my file looks the same. I think my problem is that X ignored the files in xorf.conf.d and used xorg.conf.install, first. It then tried every option until it ended up with fbdev or vesa, I don't remember which one.
If you want to know, initialize the installer again the same way you did last time, then on tty2 after X starts but before doing any clicking, take a look at the one just created.
Under which circumstances would X prefer the file xorg.conf.install over /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/?
I'm pretty sure xorg.conf.install only ever gets used when X is started by yast.
Does it matter when the files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ only contain comments?
Those files always contain only comments unless a user changes them. They amount to nothing but doc files unless and until a user makes any non-comment changes in them. As long as it has only comments, xorg.conf does not exist, and you have not created any valid alternative for X to use, X runs purely on automagic. With Nvidia gfxchips, no valid configs means an installed system should be running on the nouveau driver. For several years, most FOSS video driver users have been running X entirely on automagic. What driver does your current /var/log/Xorg.0.log say is being used? Does it have EE lines in it? If so, help from here will probably depend on you sharing that file.
