It's almost Thursday here so my bet is that you are trying out SuSE after abandoningyour previous distribution choices. My guess is that you will probably try out LFS by the weekend and declare it not to your liking

Anyhowz... In SuSE you would set up your xwindows video modes using 'sax2' (for XFree 4.1.x and up) and 'sax' for previous versions.
