Stefan thank you for the pointers. For 11.3 I am thinking/proposing the
guidance to give for users when Xorg fails to automatically configure X, and
one can not reach X is the following order of tries:
1. Try from grub with boot code: nomodeset=1
2. Try from grub: failsafe
3. Try from run level-3 /etc/X11: cp xorg.conf.install xorg.conf [ie for fbdev
boot if xorg.conf.install exists]
4. Try from run level-3: Xorg -configure ; cp /root/xorg.conf.new
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (and edit as required (example change "radeon" to "vesa"
driver ... ))
5. Try proprietary ATI or nVidia graphic driver (point to other wiki)
6. Using info from step-3 or step-4 above, edit
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-device.conf (or other file in that directory)
7. Try Udev edits as last resort (due to complexity)
.. and of course anywhere during those steps, contact IRC chat #suse or
openSUSE forums for help.
The above is just an outline. Wiki would need hand holding details.
