I do not see ANY "nvidia" OR "nv" in this file. Does that mean I am not using a proper driver for the card? If yes, how do I get the Nvidia or nv driver into this file? Where the heck did SuSE put it when I did the on-line update? Gil

OK. I'll move the card while you look at that config file and tell me if I'm trying to use this card without a proper driver. Thx! Gil
Looks like only framebuffer, vesa and vmware video drivers have been tried. Don't know what happened to the NVidia stuff. The monitors section of this file didn't look good either. What make/model# monitor do you have? Please try the "sax2 -l -m 0=nv" as root. That should give us a basic xorg.conf file. Stan
