hwinfo --gfxcard

I'm guessing you have some kind of NVidia chip.

Felix,

I have installed openSuse on 5 boxes and no
functional kde display on any one. Two boxes I don't
now have access to, I had old xorg.config files
formerly produced by sax2. After loading those files
from level 3, I got kde displays.

I only have two 11.4 boxes available here, one Compaq
and one HP, both Pentium 4s. The Compaq has an AGP
card, the HP has Intel onboard video. Neither of
these boxes has a kde install now, but they both have
LXDE running.

The /var file is pretty big to paste here. I need the
paste link to send it.
