Yast2 display/monitor Section Missing in 11.3 ?


I've just added OpenSuse11.3 dual booting with 11.1 ;-)) just being cautious !
I cant find a Monitor / Display section in Yast2. I've installed the nvidia drivers ...does this somehow remove the yast2 module? Or doesn't 11.3 come with one ? I've looked through the list of yast2 modules in software management .. but none is shown.

The main problem is setting up dual displays ... which is fine in 11.1 but gives me problem in 11.3 ...specifically the resolution of the secondary monitor is incorrect and I cant see how to set it. I was expecting to do this in Yast2. I've tried with nvidia-settings but this wont let me set the resolution of the second monitor (LCD)
Any thoughts welcome

Take a look at KDE Menu --> Configure Desktop --> Computer Administration --> Display. I don't have the module for multiple monitors loaded, hence I can't tell you about resolution settings. Anyway it might be a starting point.

The problem is that release 11.3 does not provide the graphic card configuration tool Sax2. Maybe something similar will be provided in the next releases (I heard rumors about that, but information need to be checked). Here is a link where maybe you can find something useful, even if it does not mention dual monitors.

Thanks colucix,
I looked at that link and and from that I decided to copy the xorg.conf from my working 11.1 installation ..That did the trick!
