I did as you suggested and also ran sax2 -p
sax2 -p listed an i830 Intel chip lspci shows an Intel 82830 graphics chip the xorg.conf file is using the 'intel' driver.
I am unable to get sax2 to configure the xserver with the display resolution of 1024x768@60. For some reason it is stuck using the 800x600 resolution from my original install entry. I have also tried the command:
sax2 --vesa 0:1024x768@60
This should force sax2 to use 1024x768 resolution but it is not working. Perhaps someone can tell me if the syntax is correct?
Thanks for the reply,

I know there are some significant problems with intel and 11.1 right now. I haven't saved the posts, but I think it was Fred Miller who was having terrible trouble as well.
If none of the 'sax2 -r -m 0=intel' commands seem to work, you probably better start a new thread and title it '11.1 Intel Graphic Problem on Dell Notebook' and you would probably get a lot more ideas from others. I think your thread is overlooked due to the title being "Dell laptop and openSUSE 11.1". You might try that and see if we can't get some greater minds on the intel issue involved.
I don't have the problems that he has, however, YES...there are problems with the 3-digit Intel video chipsets! Acceleration is better than it was, however, the audio timing is often off....way off with a lot of flash and wmv movie clips (no matter what app. is used to view them), 3d screen savers aren't as smooth as they should be, and there are strange traces of images during the login process. After the update that had a LOT of new KDE 4.2 files the other day, and on ALL boxen I've updated, there now are extra icons on the task bar, "empty" if you will...not tied to any app., an additional Application Launcher Menu icon...as many as 3 additional on 1 box, and 1 on the desktop. You can delete all these extras, but after a reboot, they're back. I can just imagine newbies having to deal with this.
