Tried that first thing this morning. I actually moved the XF86Config and xorg files into a backup directory so there was no chance of SAX picking them up from a differently named file. I went to init 3, ran SAX. SAX found everything as before and it refuses to allow a dual head setup. In Expert there seems to be nothing that I can tweak to turn on Xinerama or the FrameBuffer thing. It did auto detect things right... when I saved, it wrote an XF96Config - not an xorg.config file. I did an init 5 and restarted X, and everything works as it did when I installed.
If SaX wrote to XF86Config, yours is old. Get the current from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/X/SaX2/suse92 The latest SaX puts its output directly into xorg.conf. [Note: SuSE 9.2 does __not__ look at XF86Config, but at xorg.conf !!!] mikus p.s. The principal use I got out of fglrxconfig was documentation - a listing of all the options. It may be that to set up the environment you want, you will have to change some option values. [If need be, you might add them by hand to the xorg.conf built by SaX.] By the way, the fglrxconfig I have put its output into XF86Config-4. To use it, rather than the SaX output, I created a symlink from xorg.conf to XF86Config-4. The SuSE readme gives the command for using SaX with fglrx as: sax2 -r -m 0=fglrx -b /usr/X11R6/lib/sax/profile/firegl -i
