BTW, is there anything comparable to SAX2 in 11.4?
To do what? For the most part anything to do with X config is all automagic now. Any display tweaking can usually be done in randr - in KDE4 you have a Monitor module in the System Settings window that you can sue to tweak your display. In Gnome you have similar tools. On most single display systems, there is nothing you need to do.
You must have a different 11.4. I'm running KDE and I don't see any "randr" and the only monitor I see in System simply shows running tasks etc. There is the "Display and Monitor" in Personal Settings, but there's nothing there that I can change.
I didn't say to try and find randr in the System Settings, or intend to imply that you should look for randr there... randr is a command line tool. The path to get to the Monitor setup module in KDE4 is: Geeko > Configure Desktop > Hardware > Display and Monitor (I assumed you could find it without the explicit path - sorry for that) Gnome is similar, but I don't have Gnome running at the moment to spell out the GUI config path. This usually does everything most users need to config their monitors. Some multi monitor setups have issues (although I've never had an issue on multi monitor configs) as well as some older CRTs that seem to be detected incorrectly - this has been discussed a lot here on the mailing list in the past 12 months or so.
There are of course cases where these config tools don't work (and a manual config is necessary), but those are becoming less and less.
Well, there's certainly a problem with 11.4 on this system that worked with 11.3
There is, from what I read, an issue with some recent changes in X which is affect ing nVidia and ATI video cards. It's being discussed here on the mailing list in another thread.. or three. Fiddling in System Settings > Monitor won't fix it. Take a look at this bug report -> https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678732 Is that the same issue?
