openSUSE 11.3 does not need xorg.conf. The X-server is "self/automagic" configuring.
Automatic does not work in every case. Xorg.conf is optional, but there is no more SaX2 to create one if one is needed. Those compelled to upgrade who have video trouble with 11.3 are probably best off going to 11.2 or the most recent milestone of 11.4 that actually works, which for me ATM is M5. M6 is due as soon as a nasty kernel bug gets fixed.
Due to lack of maturity of kernel modesetting in 11.3's kernel and apps that depend on it, I won't be "upgrading" anything to 11.3.
11.3 plus the Tumbleweed repos kernel (2.6.37) is another option. Tumbleweed is still pretty small as far as having a selection of packages, but it does have in theory a relatively stable kernel. ie. the goal of Tumbleweed is to be more up to date than a normal distro, but to maintain stability. Read this before you use tumbleweed: http://en.opensuse.org/Tumbleweed And here's a list of packages in tumbleweed. https://build.opensuse.org/project/packages?package=&project=openSUSE%3ATumbleweed Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
