I found a potential solution at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1321224 It is described in post #5 from rhythmiccycle. It did not work for me on my Sandybridge notebook which is not running opensuse, but it *did* work on my OS11.4 machine which features Intel X4500 chipset graphic that uses the same graphics driver as Sandybridge.
When that works it means the only and much easier thing necessary would probably be for adjusting 50-monitor.conf, in Stan's case to change my prior recommended from Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default Monitor" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" EndSection to Section "Monitor" Identifier "Default Monitor" Option "PreferredMode" "1280x1024" Option "DefaultModes" "on" EndSection
Configuring a proper xorg.conf that overrides autodetection may help but before digging into this first try the above if it works for you to set your desired resolution.
The idea for having xorg.conf.d/ in the first place is to make user tweaks of config settings easier to make, since each file in it affects only a single (usually) problem the user is trying to address. X knows how to do the things cvt and xrandr do, and usually can be made to do them automatically even when EDID is broken via minimal adjustments within xorg.conf.d/. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
