a "comment" in a file is a bit that is written that is tagged so that the computer will ignore it. In xorg.conf, that is any line starting with a # character. The # is called a "comment character", marker or tag.
Different programs expect different characters to indicate a comment, you can usually figure it out by reading the file.
to "comment out" a line means to turn the line into a comment by inserting a comment character at the start. This is useful for removing instructions from a file meant to be read by the computer without danger of forgetting what the instruction was in the event it needs to be restored.
Restoring a line, by deleting a prepended comment character, is called "uncommenting" it. You can see how this bit of jargon saves considerable explanation.
... So I am advising you to open xorg.conf in a text editor with appropriate permissions, edit the indicated lines so a # is at the start of each, then save the file. Restart X and observe.

What I am thinking, after all of these changes that we have tried maybe it would be good idea to reinstall SUSE on this pc and begin detecting problem from raw new installation?

This is a possibility, or reinstalling from a more recent edition of the install disk. Or - trying a different distro, since you are committed to the reinstall anyway.
Starting from clean does rule out the possibility that you have changed something without realizing it.
